New paper with Dr. Amy Frazier and Dr. Peter Kedron: We find the percentage of area protected can be a viable proxy for many more complicated structural connectivity metrics in global target reporting, creating easier pathways for monitoring.The paper is open access in Ecological Indicators with code available on GitHub. Information of metric equations and interpretations also available in the supplemental material.

We are hosting a paper session in the annual meeting of the American Association for Geographers (AAG) 2024 titled: "Development and Application of Spatial Models for Human-Environmental Systems to Address Social and or Environmental Challenges". It's part of the Symposium on Geospatial Data Science for Sustainability and we welcome relevant submissions.

I presented my research titled "Measuring spatio-temporal landscape pattern change after a severe flood with Synthetic Aperture Radar and Machine Learning" at the annual conference of the American Association of Geographers as a Jeanne X. Kasperson student paper award winner in February, 2022.
