Research focuses on linking landscape patterns with
ecological and social processes. Particular focus is on land-use and land-cover
dynamics and makes use of multiple methods, including GIS, remote sensing,
digital terrain analysis, ecological mapping, social surveys and statistics,
and computer simulation. Specific projects focus on the interacting social and
ecological aspects of land use and cover change in rural and peri-urban
environments, land use and vulnerability to flooding in China, and spatial and
social effects on health.
