Homepage

Dr. Paradise joined the faculty of the Geography division of Geosciences in the Fall of 2000. His primary research interests are in geomorphology and resource management, specifically the deterioration of classical architecture, stone weathering, hazards and risk, and in human impacts on cultural resources. Since the 1980s, his work has focused on the magical Nabataean site of Petra in southern Jordan, now one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. New research projects in architecture and hazards include sites across the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Levant.

His research on architectural deterioration, stone weathering, and cultural resource management has been published in three books, numerous book chapters and more than fifty peer-review papers. His work on architectural deterioration has been supported by various international agencies including National Science Foundation, USAID, USIA-USIS, Petra National Trust, NMERTP, US State Department, CIES-Fulbright, and the Jordanian Department of Antiquities. In addition, Dr. Paradise's expertise on the Middle East and North Africa has been requested by numerous national governments including the Kingdoms of Jordan and Morocco, Lebanon, Syria, Italy, Turkey, Tunisia, and Egypt and numerous media groups including ABC-News, CNN, the London Times, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, PBS-TV, La Domenica del Corriere (Italy) and the Smithsonian Institution.

Dr. Paradise is also a noted cartographer and served as Director of Cartography for the award winning Atlas of Hawai'i as well as two award-winning Student Atlas of Hawai'i. In 1999, the Atlas of Hawai'i was awarded the coveted Pacific Rim's Ka Palapala Po`okela Award for Excellence in Non-fiction, Hawaiian Culture, Production, and Design - a rare honor for a book of this magnitude and popularity. Over the past twenty years as well, he has published more then 2,000 maps for various publishers, corporations, authors and agencies in the US and abroad. Paradise has taught cartography classes in thematic mapping techniques, geospatial visualization, introductory geographic information systems (GIS), animated cartography, elements of graphic data, and advanced cartographic production techniques. He studied under and worked for the renown cartographer, Borden Dent at Georgia State University and is currently responsible for the University of Arkansas' Cartography Program in the Department of Geosciences.

At the University of Arkansas, he is currently teaching classes in Middle East and North Africa geography, natural disasters assessment, mitigation & policy, hazards perception & risk, Islamic art & architecture, in addition to contributing to the department's geomorphology program. Dr. Paradise has taught courses in environmental research & field methods, applied geomorphology, historic preservation and stone conservation, geospatial visualization, coastal geomorphology, geographic information systems (GIS), computer cartography, and advanced computer cartography & animation. Professor Paradise has taught overseas at the University of Rome, University of Jordan, and the American University of Cairo, in addition to universities in Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Washington, New York, Colorado, Hawai'i and California.

Research Interests:

When he is not teaching at the University, Dr. Paradise works mostly in the Middle East, North Africa or Italy. He has worked in Petra, Jordan a large ruined city carved out of the beautiful red sandstone of Southern Jordan since the late 1980s. It was constructed and hewn from the reddish cliff faces two thousand years ago by the Nabataeans and later the Romans. This ruined city contains more than 500 spectacular tombs and structures and was unknown to the West until the 19th Century, when it was first described to the Western world in the writings of J. Burckhardt - a notable Swiss explorer.

Since the Valley Of Petra was used in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989, and Israel and Jordan opened their borders, tourism has increased dramatically from a few thousand each year to hundreds of thousands. Israeli visitors now outnumber most other tourist groups. Since 1990, visitors to Petra have increased from 30,000 per year to more than 400,000 and in July 2007, with more than 100 million votes, Petra has been chosen as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. As a new Wonder, Petra's tourism is expected to double bringing more visitors to this magical valley, emphasizing the need for even more research of this nature. Tourists are often seen climbing and grabbing structures or collecting artifacts and remnants while visiting. In some areas of the Valley, it has been determined that Petra's magnificent architecture has decayed more in the last ten years than in the previous two thousand. So, the University of Arkansas Geosciences team has been identifying and assessing the impacts of nature and tourists on the famous Valley of the Crescent Moon. Our research is conducted in conjunction with a team of German and Jordanian conservators working in Petra to help slow this accelerated deterioration of architecture. By carefully identifying and measuring the influences of climate (i.e. sunlight, moisture), lithology (i.e. density, matrix constituents) biota (i.e. lichen, goats), and visitor populations in the Valley and the region, we have been able to estimate the rates of surface recession and rank these influences affecting rock decay – a significant contribution to weathering and conservation studies. New research directions in Petra will include tomb interior microclimatology (i.e. temperature, relative humidity and carbon dioxide) and the use of synoptic cartography in site accessibility and carrying capacity in cultural resource management.

The University of Arkansas' PETRA PROJECT is one of Petra's oldest, ongoing research programs. Please feel free to visit the website for more information or a recent video on Dr. Paradise and his ongoing research in Petra.

His research has been published in numerous earth science and architectural conservation publications including the Journal of Physical Geography, American Journal of Archaeology, Geomorphology, Conservation, Geografiska Annaler, and Zeitscrift fur Geomorphologie. He has also written a number of book chapters on the region including the Environment of Petra in The Great Southern Temple of Petra, an excellent book written and published by Martha and Artemis Joukowsky at Brown University and a score of archaeologists, historians and conservators. He was honored to analyze and assess the mosaic tesserae in Petra’s Byzantine Church under the archaeologists Drs. Zbigniev Fiema and Patricia Bikai in their important and beautiful book The Petra Church (ACOR Press). In addition, he is a regular consultant to the Petra National Trust, an important Jordanian NGO instrumental in overseeing activities and policy implementation in Petra. The organization is directed by an amazing administrator, Aysar Akrawi.

In recent years, an additional research direction has emerged. With his expertise in architecture, building materials and natural hazards, Paradise has been asked increasingly by foreign agencies to assist in the evaluation of seismic risk (and tsunami and volcanic-related quake activity) and regional and/or community policies. However, as this work has developed, it has become clear that cultural differences and perceptions in risk assessment are dramatically influential. As a result, the team at the University of Arkansas’ Geosciences Department has started to investigate these similarities and differences by interviewing scores of individuals in these at-risk communities – 300 people were interviewed in Agadir (newsline article), Morocco in 2003, 400 were interviewed in Messina on Sicily in 2005 – all in the hopes of establishing a huge network of similar interviews as to why some communities plan for imminent disaster and others do not.

O passing beautiful –- in this wild spot, temples, and tombs, and dwellings,–- all forgot!
One sea of sunlight far around them spread, and skies of sapphire mantling overhead.
They seem no work of man’s creative hand, where Labour wrought as wayward Fancy plann’d;
But from the rock as if by magic grown, eternal –- silent –- beautiful –- alone!
Not virgin white –- like that old Doric shrine where once Athena held her rites divine
of saintly grey –- like many a minster fane that crowns the hill, or sanctifies the plain.
But rosy-red,–- as if the blush of dawn which first beheld them were not yet withdrawn
The hues of youth upon a brow of woe, which men call’d old two thousand years ago!
Match me such marvel, save in Eastern clime –- a rose-red city –- half as old as Time!

excerpt from John William Burgon's poem Petra (1845)
