Research

  • I am interested in Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing Applications in environmental systems. Specifically, I have research projects in the following areas: 1) Urban forestry, 2) Longleaf pine/turkey oak sandhill fire ecology in the southeastern coastal plain, 3) Amazon forest biophysical characteristics, and 4) Hyperspectral remote sensing
