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.

Urban growth in American cities : glimpses of U.S. urbanization
The Earth's surface is changing rapidly. Changes are local, regional, national, and even global in scope. Some changes have natural causes, such as earthquakes or drought. Other changes, such as urban expansion, agricultural intensification, resource extraction, and water resources development, are examples of human-induced change that have significant impact upon people, the economy, and resourceAuthorsRoger Auch, Janis Taylor, William AcevedoLand use and land cover change in the North Central Appalachians ecoregion
The North Central Appalachians ecoregion, spanning northern Pennsylvania and southern New York, has a long history of land use and land cover change. Turn-of-the-century logging dramatically altered the natural landscape of the ecoregion, but subsequent regeneration returned the ecoregion to a forest dominated condition. To understand contemporary land use and land cover changes, the U.S. GeologicAuthorsD.E. Napton, Terry L. Sohl, Roger F. Auch, Thomas R. LovelandThe land cover trends project: A strategy for monitoring land cover change at a national scale
Policy-makers and scientists often require comprehensive data on the types and rates of land use and land cover change at a variety of scales. However, there is generally a lack of local, regional, and national land use and land cover data of sufficient reliability and temporal and geographic detail for providing accurate estimates of landscape change.
