I am a geographer, broadly trained in geospatial technologies and natural-human system interactions. I am interested in functional mapping of environment using innovative methods, multiple data sources, and when appropriate, volunteered geographic information. Functional mapping seeks to capture in spatial form the structure of a natural or social system in order to understand system function, management context, and possible consequences of change or management decisions on pattern and process.
