Biography
Timothy Duane is associate professor of law at Vermont Law School and associate professor of environmental studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. An associate professor at the University of California at Berkeley from 1991-2009, he has law and policy experience in climate, water, energy, land use, conservation, and marine systems. Leading the nation's effort to produce a new paradigm for examination of the challenges posed by urban development in rural America, Professor Duane is particularly interested in land use and natural resources law, emphasizing the historical evolution of private and social interests, rights, and responsibilities in property. In 1997, he was appointed by the US secretary of agriculture to the scientific committee to evaluate the USDA Forest Service's proposed Revised Draft Environmental Impact Statement for a California spotted owl management strategy on federal forests in the Sierra Nevada. He is author of the book, Shaping the Sierra: Nature, Culture, and Conflict in the Changing West (University of California Press, 1999).
