Dr. Wilson’s research interests included Gulf Coast maritime history and geography, Mobile River delta and coastal morphology, American folk houses and the geography of the Yucatan Peninsula. During his years at USA, Dr. Wilson received research grants from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Alabama Historical Commission, the National Park Service and the University of South Alabama Research Committee. While at USA he traveled extensively on research projects in Europe, South America, the islands of the Caribbean and Central America. Although he had many research interests, he had a passion for the physical and cultural landscape of Yucatan. Since the 1960’s he has walked, driven over, flown over and even climbed under the limestone surface of the Yucatan Peninsula. His research in Yucatan and other areas led to numerous publications and papers. Dr. Wilson has also served as a consultant on many occasions particularly when surveying and mapping were required. In fact, he continued his consulting practice well into his retirement with an emphasis on environmental impact studies.
In addition to teaching and research, Dr. Wilson has been a participant and office holder in several organizations such as the Mobile-Puerto Barrios Partner Cities and the Alabama-Guatemala Partners of the Americas. He has also been an active member in the Association of American Geographers at both the national and regional levels. In 1975, Dr. Wilson was honored with an “Award of Merit” from the Alabama Historical Commission for his “Guide to Rural Folk Houses in Alabama” and “Alabama Folk Houses.”
Dr. Wilson now resides in Fairhope, Alabama with his wife Kathe. They have a son and two daughters and five grandchildren.
