Statement of Research and Interests:
My research interests include : (1) the application of geographic information science (GIScience) and technology to watershed, flood, and environmental modeling, (2) remote sensing in mountain environments, and (3) issues of scale.
Courses Taught: Advanced GIS, Digital Image Processing, Principles of GeoComputation, Seminar in GIScience, Advance Quantitative and Qualitative Methods, Introduction to Physical Geography, and Freshman Honors Physical Geography.
