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.
