PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:
Climate and meteorological impacts in the western United States; wildland fire; remote sensing; applications research; visualization techniques; GIS; data analysis. Research areas include: Climate and remote sensing analysis in relation to wildland fires, ecosystem database management, scientific visualization. Thesis work examined surface, upper air and cloud-to-ground lightning strike climatology related to natural fire starts in Nevada. Dissertation work examined quantifying precipitation amounts associated with natural wildfire ignitions, weather radar reflectivity patterns associated with wildfire ignitions, and statistical relationships between monsoonal moisture surges/pulses and wildfire ignitions
