Current Employment:
Senior Research Scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Washington State University (WSU): Adjunct Lecturer
For the last 20 years I have been most active in spatial data analysis with remotely sensed data sets. These efforts have involved all the commercial satellite systems, advanced airborne systems, and considerable experience with all types of government systems. Most recently I have also been teaching remote sensing at WSU.
Research activities have focused on combining different scales, temporal characteristics and types of data sets with diverse technologies (from GIS to geology) to aid in the extraction of subtle features form remotely sensed imagery. Current research interest include:
- Quantitative remote sensing/image analysis
- Data Fusion for feature extraction
- Adapting remotely sensed data sets to ecological modeling
- Analysis and visualization of complex spatial and temporal data sets
- Experimentation with imagery form the next generation of remote sensing satellite systems
Personal Interests:
I have a long term interesting in exploring the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Most recently I have been combining my interest in computer map making and hiking by creating a web site designed to provide quick access to trail information for the serious hiker. While some rudimentary explanatory text and statistics is included the intent is to provide most of the information in the form of maps.
