Research
My research is conceptually grounded in the principles of biogeography and physical geography. My specific research interests lie within the domain of climate change and vegetation response, mountain environment, remote sensing (RS), and geographic information science (GIS). I apply these interests by addressing factors structuring the treeline dynamics at multiple scales using ecological tools and geospatial technologies and by surveying and creating databases and user-friendly network maps under a fiber-network database management project for Texas A&M University Information Technology. My long-term research goal is to better understand the environment through climate-vegetation interaction and solve environmental problems by the application of geospatial technologies and ecological tools. Even though I hold scholarly credentials in a number of topics, such as environmental science, wetland conservation, forestry, and climate change, my program of research focuses on three major areas - Biogeography and Vegetation Dynamics, Spatial Modeling, and Geospatial Technology.
