Bio
Stacy uses geospatial analytics to assess landscape, habitat, and ecosystem spatial problems, particularly in aquatic systems. He uses remote sensing to address both regional and local-scale questions of land use change and the impact of change on inland lakes, wetland, and coastal ecosystems, as well as their associated effects on water quality and fisheries ecology. Other interests include stakeholder engagement and interdisciplinary problem-solving.
