No excuse.

Welcome (click here) to the NASA Land-Cover and Land-Use Change (LCLUC) Program website. LCLUC is an interdisciplinary science program in the Earth Science Division of the Science Mission Directorate. LCLUC is part of the Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Focus Area with links to some programs in other Focus Areas.

My research interests lie in the applications of geospatial technologies including remote sensing, GIS, geovisualization, spatial analytic tools, and integrated assessment modeling to understanding the problems of environmental change and their potential solutions for a sustainable environment. Currently, I am working in research areas concerning Sustainability including:

1. Urban mapping and modeling
2. Urban heat island and its environmental impacts
3. High spatiotemporal energy use and emissions inventory
4. Global energy demand and supply
5. Water-Energy Nexus
6. Climate change

Use this quick reference to get descriptions for the land cover classes used within NOAA's regional coastal land cover maps (also known as C-CAP). These classes are important indicators of coastal ecosystems, and these land cover data are consistently and accurately derived primarily through remote-sensing technology.
