Lawrence holds a PhD from Ohio State University in environmental science. Lawrence’s dissertation research focused on the human dimensions of environmental policy by studying the response of local officials to environmental regulations and importance of multi-jurisdictional collaboration.
For the last 12 years, he has focused on the relationship between land use and water quality and the means of minimizing the impact of development on water quality and aquatic habitats.
Prior to moving back to California, Lawrence spent 16 years with Ohio State University Extension, where he was the founding director of the award-winning campus ecology program CampUShed and the Ohio NEMO program. NEMO (Nonpoint Education for Municipal Officials) is a confederation of 32 educational programs in 31 states dedicated to protecting natural resources through better land use and land use planning.
His extension educational programming, in Ohio and at UC Davis, has spanned such issues as agricultural health and safety, pesticide safety, land use, urban-rural interface, water quality, working with underserved populations, and collaborative efforts with local and state jurisdictions.
