Research
Ecosystems are being subjected to many natural and anthropogenic
environmental pressures in this age of global climate and
landscape change. We are interested in learning how ecosystems
will respond to these pressures, as well as what characteristics
of the landscape are responsible for shaping ecological processes.
Toward that end, our lab uses remote sensing, GIS, and ecosystem
modeling as our main tools for conducting research in the
following three areas:
Our lab members share the common interest of conducting research
applicable to the conservation of threatened and endangered
species, as well as the improvement of ecosystem management
techniques. Since human land use patterns remain one of the
primary causes of habitat destruction, our research has direct
applications toward preventing further losses of biodiversity.
