My primary research interest and experience has been in remote sensing technologies included manual and digital analysis of data from aircraft platforms and satellites. Most of my basic science has been the integration and comparison of spaceborne optical and radar data. 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 technologies to problems in developing countries.

This interest has included work in about twenty-five countries in Asia, Africa, and South America. I have experience with the use of satellite obtained data in a variety of resource inventories 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/cover in Afghanistan and Mozambique, agricultural capability in Zambia, forest monitoring in Kenya, cadastral mapping in Suriname, construction of a Decision Support Toolbox for Sagarmatha National Park (Mount Everest) and land use/cover change in Nepal. I also have interests in various aspects of physical geography and environmental studies, have authored over 200 publications, and am an elected Fellow in the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
