I worked for a few years as a management information systems consultant after receiving my bachelor's (U.C. San Diego, 1987), but then I returned to the challenges and rewards of an academic career. While earning a master's (Boston University, 1993), I was introduced to the analysis of broad-scale environmental problems and began using GIS as a tool in my work. This was followed by a Ph.D. (U.C. Santa Barbara, 1999) in geography, as part of the NSF-funded Spatial Ecology Research Training Grant Program. The courses I have
taught are Physical
Geography (GEOG250), Introduction
to GIS (GEOG318), and Climatology
(GEOG414); a course on mapping, geographic data, and spatial technologies
is currently being developed (GEOG317); eventually I hope to also offer
a course in advanced environmental modeling with GIS.
