I have been involved with regional and national land-use and land-cover (LULC) change research since 1999 as a member of the Land Cover Trends project and now the LCMAP initiative. I have extensive knowledge of land change across the United States and the driving forces influencing change. My research bridges remote sensing change detection with non-remote sensing geographical analysis. I have been involved in publishing national and regional land change information, with an emphasis on regional analysis and driving forces of change. Regional works include diverse areas such as the northern Great Plains, the northeast urban corridor, the forested Southeast, and the Corn Belt. Current research includes testing and writing up LCMAP results in use for national and regional land change reporting.

Eyes on Earth Episode 13 – Land Use
Eyes on Earth is a podcast on remote sensing, Earth observation, land change and science, brought to you by the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center. In this episode, we hear about how satellites are used to study changes in land use and its impacts.
Expanding Suburbs

Suburban Growth
A dense suburban neighborhood located north of Cincinnati, Ohio. The conversion of forest, agriculture, and grasslands to development can change hydrology at local and regional scales, alter wildlife habitat, and affect local weather patterns.
