Research Interests:

My interests are broad. I have worked in areas such as land-use and land-cover mapping and LUCC, urban growth modelling, assessment and monitoring of land degradation and deforestation, multi-scale area calculations, human-environment interactions and the effects on alpine treeline and urban fires in arid environments. However, the thread that runs through all of my research is its theoretical base in geographic information science (GISc - the science behind the technology: GIS, GPS, remote sensing). I love to develop and explore new ways to ask and answer geographic questions: How can we better represent geographic data? How will spatial, temporal, and spectral scale of measurement influence both the formulation and answering of myriad questions? Which data model and or conceptual formulations best represent the spatio-temporal dynamics I am trying to capture? How do we know? The world is ever changing and so are the questions in GIScience. Stay tuned....
