People Bart Johnson
Room 216 Lawrence B.S., 1987, Cornell; M.L.A., 1992, Ph.D., 1995, Georgia. (1995) Dr. Bart Johnson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Oregon. Both his teaching and research focus on the integration of ecology into landscape design, planning and management, with a particular emphasis on conservation planning and ecological restoration. Current research focuses on biodiversity conservation and fire hazard management in the context of climate change and urbanization. This includes landscape planning, simulation modeling, restoration experiments, prescribed fire, and historical vegetation reconstruction. The ecological context of these studies centers on Willamette Valley oak savanna, upland prairie and wetland prairie, all imperiled ecosystems. In addition to landscape design and planning studios, his courses include Principles of Applied Ecology, Climate Change Planning and Design, Landscape Research II, and two intensive field courses, Fire as a Tool for Landscape Design and Management and Reading the Landscape of the High Cascades. He is the lead editor of the 2002 book Ecology and Design: Frameworks for Learning, along with publications on rare plant habitat restoration and ecological planning. In recent years, Dr. Johnson was the University of Oregon lead for an international consortium on urban ecology education and has taught ecological design at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. He is the recipient of two recent grants from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy for collaborative, interdisciplinary research on the implications of climate change for biodiversity and landscape planning in the Pacific Northwest.
