PROFILE |
After three decades on the faculty at Virginia Tech, Leonard Shabman joined RFF in 2002 as a resident scholar. His special interest is in expanding the contributions of economic analysis to the formation of water and related land resource policy. Shabman’s present research is focused on development of evaluation protocols for large-scale ecosystem restoration projects, with special focus on the Everglades and Coastal Louisiana.
His research also includes permitting under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, integrating water quality standard setting with the Total Maximum Daily Load program, and creating market-based incentives for water quality management. He currently serves as a member of the National Research Council’s Water Science and Technology Board and is the Arthur Maass-Gilbert White Scholar at the Institute for Water Resources at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
