My research focuses on the relationships among adoption and implementation of natural resources and land use policy, land use/land cover change, and demographic conditions and trends in communities impacted by those policies.  My projects utilize GIS spatial analysis of demographic, management activity, political, and land cover data.  

I am a co-lead for ongoing social and economic monitoring of the Northwest Forest Plan conducted by the U.S. Forest Service, and for development of a novel social and economic monitoring protocol for the Coos Bay District of the Bureau of Land Management.   I am also involved with an emerging effort within the USFS to develop and apply new environmental justice mapping and assessment protocols for NEPA, planning, and policy analysis.
