The field of my research combines landscape ecology, soil biogeochemistry, and remote sensing and geographic information systems. Through my research, I aim to develop a deeper understanding of how global change factors, such as urbanization and land use, influence natural and managed ecosystems in providing services critical to human well-being in different spatiotemporal scales.
