Summary

I am interested in the research, teaching, and application of passive and active ground to satellite-based remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) technologies to problems in landscape ecology, physical geography including synecology/biogeography, environmental monitoring, ecological restoration for developing solutions to restoring or maintaining the sustainability of dryland landscapes and their pastoral peoples.
