My
research interests are based on the study of human-environment interactions
within the field of Land Change Science. More specifically remote sensing of
land use, land cover change and land change modeling; the implications of
scale and scaling in remote sensing and modeling analyses; people and parks;
and modeling of the impacts of climate change on human-environment systems.
