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

Education

  • Ph.D. Geography University of Florida 2000
  • MS Geography Brigham Young University 1997
  • BS Cartography and Geographic Information Systems Brigham Young University 1996
