Aaron uses geospatial analytics to consider how, where, and why our public built environments impact health behaviors such as physical activity and recreation. He develops crowdsourcing approaches and uses emerging sensor technologies to study and visualize the interaction between built environments and community health behaviors. He is currently using webcams, web apps, GPS, and accelerometers in data collection. Other interests include infrastructure that supports workplace health, park use and accessibility, and geospatial decision support systems.
