Research Interests

Click for access to publications
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.
