Professor, Department of Biological Sciences
& Curator of Birds, Natural Science Research Laboratory
Texas Tech University
My research program is centrally grounded
in landscape ecology, the field that examines how
environmental patterns affect ecological processes. In my lab, we use
geospatial technologies such as GIS to visualize and analyze spatially
explicit environmental data. Our primary focus
is on the ecological consequences of anthropogenic sources of spatial
heterogeneity, namely land use/land cover change.
With both applied and basic research projects going on in my lab that dovetail with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and museum science, our activities mesh research with teaching and service to the community.
