Center for Spatial Analysis

Develop modeling techniques using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to characterize estuarine and riverine ecosystems in Florida to support the development of long-range environmental policies regarding the management and conservation of these systems. Characterize these ecosystems by combining GIS-based habitat data, developing spatial indicators of anthropogenic stress, and existing monitoring data on biological communities, primarily nekton species. I act as the principle investigator in attaining competitive federal and state grants to conduct these synthesis-type analyses focusing on coastal and marine resources in Florida. Many of these projects are conducted in collaboration with fishery and landscape ecologists, geographers, GIS analysts, statisticians, and computer programmers.
