Research Interests

My research interests are primary focused on land cover analysis and terrain modeling using Remote Sensing. I am also interested in GIS modeling methods and applications specifically, those dealing with these topics. I am currently involved in projects that deal with Hurricane Katrina recovery, GIS Modeling for conservation, and lidar / hyper-spectral data fusion for land cover classification in shoreline areas.
