Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units Program:
Education, Research and Technical Assistance for Managing Our Natural Resources

My primary interests include analysis of geographic data, and automation of Geographic Information Systems analysis using the Python programming language. Another major interest is cartography, including web-accessible cartography, utilizing the Keyhole Markup Language and Google Maps. Currently, I am completing urbanization projections for the Southeast Regional Assessment Project (SERAP) using the cellular automata model SLEUTH (Slope, Landuse, Exclusion, Urbanization, Transportation and Hillshade) developed at UCSB. In addition, I am providing volunteer cartography support, both for paper maps and online mapping, for the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.
