Traditionally, Geography has been defined as a
discipline which seeks to explain the patterns and processes
that characterize and shape the surface of the earth. Over
the last four decades the discipline has broadened its scope
and branched out into areas where the geographic perspective
can lend itself to more analytical, problem-based and
applied subject matter.
Today, in this broadly defined field my
principal areas of teaching and research fall within the
systematic specialization of environmental planning and
management and the technical specialization that has become
known as geographic information science.
Overall, my academic work contributes to the
three broad categories of environmental, physical, and
applied geography. Within these categories I maintain an
active research interest in the development and application
of geographic information technologies such as Remote
Sensing, GIS and applied Artificial Intelligence to problems
that fall within the scope of environmental planning,
environmental assessment, and natural resource management
decision making.
