Current research and outreach interests

My research and outreach activities concentrate on monitoring and functional assessment of terrestrial ecosystem change in California landscapes. I use geospatial technologies for multi-scale mapping, monitoring and modeling of environmental change, particularly in forests and wetlands.  I am interested in the quantification of change in landscape pattern, in the linkages between pattern and ecological and social processes, and in understanding the pattern-process dynamic within different environmental management regimes. My research also addresses questions about availability, utility, and accuracy of geospatial datasets and environmental datasets, and scale in natural resource and environmental research. My outreach goal is to extend geospatial methods and applications, and research results to clientele groups throughout California.
