Research Interests
Within Western North Carolina I am a Pricipal Investigator on a project titled "Prototype River Cane Geographic Information System" funded by the Revitalization of Traditional Cherokee Artisan Resources (RTCAR). The goals of this project are to
(a) identify what biophysical landscape characteristics may be essential to determining river cane habitat; (b) develop a scalable GIS database that will provide information to scientists and resource managers interested in preserving, protecting, and restoring river cane; and (c) develop educational opportunities for students and provide an avenue to enhance partnerships throughout the region
Internationally, I am a Principal Investigator on a research project in Argentina and Brazil. This project is funded by the Canadian
Space Agency to use polarimetric Radarsat-2 data (to be launched December 2006) for a
land-cover and land-use analysis. The Argentinean/Brazil project is a continued
collaborative effort based on research conducted during my Ph.D.
The specific research goals for the project are to develop and demonstrate a
system for the detection of significant changes in natural, agricultural and urban
ecosystems within a semi-arid region. This system for monitoring land-cover
change will be implemented into decision-making to work toward sustainable
development. The second goal is to develop monitoring systems for urban and
rural resources in the region. Specifically, the expansion of cultivated areas and
current agricultural uses. The objective to achieve these goals is to perform landcover
classifications in order to map diverse agriculture (e.g., vines and olives in
Argentina), natural areas, and urban areas in semi-arid regions.
Using quad-polarimetric SAR data, we hope to extract not only diverse landcover
but also biophysical characteristics (crop height, soil electrical conductivity,
water content) that will indicate agriculture sustainability and point to those
areas most at risk of salination. Access to both RADARSAT-2 (C-band) and
ALOS PALSAR (L-band) data within this project will also allow for multifrequency
analysis in addition to multi-polarization and multi-angle analysis.
