Education:
- Geography (M.A.), University of California at Santa Barbara
- Geography (B.A.), University of California at Santa Barbara
Research Interests:
- Using GIS to develop innovative approaches to 1) assess ecosystem condition and how land cover patterns affect condition 2) evaluate impacts of changes in land cover amount and pattern on ecosystem health, and 3) determine recovery potential of impaired systems.
Current Projects:
- Recovery potential of impaired waters (303d) in Illinois and Maryland (Team Member)
- Quantifying urban pattern at multiple scales as a conservation
prioritzation tool (Lead)
- Impacts of land cover change on flooding potential (Team Member)
- Landscape metric development for the Heinz Center 2007 "State of the Nation's Ecosystems" report (Team Member)
- Regional Vulnerability Assessment (ReVA; Team Member)
- Development of the Analytical Tools Interface for Landscape
Assessments (ATtILA) Geographic Information Systems extension (Team
Member)
- Western EMAP (Team Member)
- Consequences of Landscape Change in the Mid-Atlantic (Team Member)
