Areas of Interest:

Studying how changing land use affects both natural resources and humans. Geospatial science methods such as remote sensing, image processing, and geographic information systems (GIS) are used in applications such as: identifying and characterizing natural and anthropogenic landscape change to assess impacts on natural resources, wetlands mapping and characterization, describing landscape-human interactions that lead to exposure to infectious diseases, and thematic accuracy assessment methods development.
