Research
I am a geographer with specializations in remote sensing and arid lands. In particular, I have worked on inventory and monitoring techniques for agriculture and natural resources using satellite and aerial video systems. Since 1987, I have worked on environmental monitoring and famine early warning in Africa for the United Nations and the U.S. Agency for International Development. Since 2002, I have been working with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on incorporating NASA products in national decision support systems (DSSs). Currently, I am working with UNESCO on a book, "The Future of Drylands Revisited." I have been at the University of Arizona since 1980; prior to that I was with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the EROS Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. During my time at Arizona I have also been temporarily assigned to Washington D.C. to Resources for the Future in 1988 (sabbatical), NASA Headquarters in 1998 (Visiting Senior Scientist, Office of Earth Science), and again in 2001-2 (Acting Director, Applications Division, Office of Earth Science).
