Bio
Rob uses geospatial analytics to examine long-term landscape health, specifically with regards to climate change and human activities, management and values. He develops process-based mechanistic models to forecast landscape change, to inform policy choices both regionally and globally. His interests also include participatory GIS with stakeholders and using visualization tools to support decision-making.
