Research Specialties and Interests:
Conservation science and Landscape planning using geospatial
techniques
Conservation assessment using habitat and species
distribution data and ecosystem service models for spatial conservation prioritization
and multi-criteria planning.
Conservation planning applications using shifts in land use
land cover and ecosystem services influenced by climate change and trade-off
spatial planning scenarios.
Conservation leadership education based on
conservation entrepreneurship

Analyst, RuleGen, and FragStats), conservation planning (MaxEnt, ConsNet, and
ongoing learning for Marxan with Zones and Zonation), wildlife habitat
connectivity (Linkage Mapper and Circuitscape), and ecosystem services (ongoing
learning for InVEST).
Proficiency in statistical
packages (SYSTAT, SigmaPlot, SAS, and R) and ecological software (PC-ORD, PASSaGE,
