Mission
This laboratory develops and uses mathematical models and computer
simulations
for the assessment of impacts of natural and anthropogenic stressors on
environmental
and ecological systems. Research interests span the local, landscape,
regional
and global scales. The main research themes are: landscape and regional
dynamics; global climate change and variability impacts on ecosystems;
watershed and reservoir modeling; coupled human-natural dynamics;
forest management and sustainability; integration of modeling with
other technologies, such as remote sensing and geographic information
systems (GIS), real-time data acquisition from biological and optical
sensors and dissemination for public awareness of environmental
changes.
