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.
