Research Summary
He's research area focuses on landscape ecology (spatial ecology) and geographic information sciences (GIS). Issues of biodiversity, conservation, and ecosystem management increasingly need to be addressed at large spatial and temporal scales. He's research in landscape ecology puts ecological questions in such large spatial and temporal contexts. In geographic information sciences he explores new technical advances to help process and analyze large spatial data sets. The science and technology. He endeavors to advance will help to solve planning, management, conservation, and restoration problems at landscape and regional scales. He's research objectives are to integrate spatial modeling and geographical information systems to study landscape/regional response to various natural and social factors over large spatial and temporal domains.
