My USGS Science Strategy AreasUnderstanding Ecosystems & Predicting Ecosystems ChangeClimate Variability & Change A Water Census of the United States Data Integration & Interoperability | Knowledge Utilization/ Science, Technology, and SocietyMy research lies at the intersection of a number of fields including city and regional planning, political science, organizational culture, and science-technology-and society studies and focuses on questions of how and why environmental science become part of a resource management system, what types of activities on the part of researchers make it more likely research will be used, and how qualitative expertise about environmental systems can be integrated into decision support systems.
