CURRENT RESEARCH
a. Spatial regression modeling of drivers of
global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The
causes and regimes of GHG emissions are spatially and path dependent. This
research is trying to identify the regionally varying factors to advise policy
makers on the most effective measures to combat GHGs.
b. Neighborhood-level behavioral modeling of
environmental stressors in New York City.
Locally
differing exposure to a range of social, environmental, economic and structural
stressors are sought to explain varying degrees of aberrant behaviors. This
study employs a large number of variables of variable spatial resolution to
discern the systemic character of neighborhood-level stressors.
c. GIS program management.
Collection and analysis of best practices for a wide range of different sized
and resourced organizations. This work is foundational to the development of a
national effort for the certification of GIS managers and the accreditation of
GIS programs.
