• Space Balloon Project
  A package that was launched from the ESF campus and lifted a pair of cameras some 17 miles above Earth was recovered in Poughkeepsie, providing a group of students with stunning photographs and a lesson in remote sensing.

Research Interests

• environmental monitoring using remote sensing methods (e.g. impervious surface/vegetation structure using satellite image analysis, uncertainty analysis, context-based image classifiers),
• environmental modeling using geographic methods (e.g. climate pattern analysis, national forest consolidation dynamics, biodiversity responses to climate/land cover changes, urban growth prediction), and
• environmental decision systems (e.g. optimal placement of wildlife mitigation structures).

Research stats: 38 journal manuscripts, h-index = 15 (Google Scholar), $2.3M as lead PI from NASA, NSF, USDA Forest Service, USAID and Syracuse Center of Excellence.
