Traditionally, Geography
has been defined as a discipline which seeks to explain the patterns
and processes that characterize and shape the surface of the earth.
Over the last four decades the discipline has broadened its scope and
branched out into areas where the geographic perspective can lend
itself to more analytical, problem-based and applied subject matter.
Today, in this broadly
defined field my principal areas of teaching and research fall within
the systematic specialization of environmental planning and management
and the technical specialization that has become known as geographic
information science.
Overall, my academic work
contributes to the three broad categories of environmental, physical,
and applied geography. Within these categories I maintain an active
research interest in the development and application of geographic
information technologies such as Remote Sensing, GIS and applied
Artificial Intelligence to problems that fall within the scope of
environmental planning, environmental assessment, and natural resource
management decision making.
