  My primary research interest and experience has been in the application of remote sensing technologies and geographic information systems. My remote sensing work has included manual and computer analysis of data from conventional aircraft platforms and satellites. I have utilized data from these platforms in a variety of land use/land cover inventories

  the construction of geographic information systems

  forest and agricultural inventories

  and urban and regional planning efforts both within and outside of the United States. I am primarily interested in the application of remote sensing and geographic information system technologies to problems in developing countries.\n \nThis interest has included work in a number of countries in Asia

  Africa and South America. I am have experience with the use of satellite obtained data in a variety of resource inventories and geographic information systems and also issues of technology transfer and changing processes of decision making. Among the projects in which I have worked are rice inventories in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh

  land use in Afghanistan and Mozambique

  agricultural capability in Zambia

  forest and grassland monitoring in Kenya

  cadastral mapping in Suriname

  construction of a Decision Support Toolbox for Sagamatha National Park (Mount Everest) and land cover change in Nepal. I also have professional interests in various aspects of physical geography and environmental studies.\n
