I received my BA from the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom (1966), my MA from Simon Fraser (1969) and PhD. From the University of Western Ontario (1977). I taught Geography at Memorial University from 1971 to 2009 and now hold the position of Honorary Research Professor. My main research interests continue to be in the process and practice of social and economic impact assessment, the implications of growth and closure in resource-dependent communities and impact management of large-scale resource projects. In recent years much of my work has been in the oil and gas, mining, hydro and construction sectors in Newfoundland and Labrador, northern and western Canada, Western Australia and the Gulf of Mexico.
