You can see here my academic vita.

In the EES program we encourage students to actively explore the disciplines at the core of the program.  One means of doing that is constant learning through readings.  You can see what I have been reading here.

The faculty in the EES program are active participants in UMaine's General Education program.  We teach many of the courses that students use to satisfy their General Education requirement in the area of Population and the Environment.  In order to assure that we are doing as well as we can in this endeavor we have an active General Education Outcomes Assessment effort.

My personal research is in applied economics of natural resources and the environment.  An example of recent work completed in this area is a study of the potential for enhancing the economic impacts of conservation lands acquisitions.  Our focus in this study was on the 100-Mile Wilderness region of Maine.

In 2006-2007, I provided consulting services to the Maine Land Use Regulation Commission as part of the application for rezoning of lands in the Moosehead Lake Region by Plum Creek.  The first report of this work was:

Issues to be Considered in Estimating the Effects on Primitive Recreation of the Plum Creek Concept Plan for the Moosehead Region

Second report was entered as testimony before the Maine Land Use Regulation Commission was:

Review of Report by Dr. John Daigle, “Impact of Plum Creek Petition for Rezoning and Concept Plan on Recreation Resources in the Plan Area”

“Commentary: LURC and First Principles of Land Use Regulation,” Maine Policy Review, Volume 16, Number 2 (2008), pp. 101-102.

Some of the courses I teach are listed here. 

Some of the things I have written of interest include Two Pigs From Maine an essay that compares E.B. White and R.P.T. Coffin.  Also included here is a recent editorial on population growth and one on taxation.
