Research Interest:
The goal of my research is to better understand coupled human-environment systems on the land and ultimately to help identifying sustainable futures for such systems. I am particularly interested in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and the land use changes that happened in this region after the breakdown of socialism. My work aims at monitoring land use change, improving understanding of its underlying causes, and exploring land use effects on ecosystem services and biodiversity. Spatially explicit analyses including remote sensing, GIS, statistical models, and landscape ecology tools are the main tools for my research.

Research Interest:
My work focuses on understanding and evaluating the outcomes of integrated land use models that have the potential to increase synergies between human wellbeing and environmental conservation. Within this theme, my focus has been on two types of systems: 1) agricultural mosaics in Central America that integrate farming with natural habitat and 2) conservation-oriented real estate projects that use development revenues to finance conservation activities. My research is rooted in the theory and methods of landscape ecology, but I also apply tools and perspectives from other disciplines in the natural and social sciences to understand these systems more comprehensively. In addition to research, I work to increase public understanding of promising integrated land use models through writings and presentations for scientific and practitioner audiences.
