Spatial Pattern
The core of our work relates to the measurement, quantification, and comparison of spatial pattern. We take a multiple scale view and explore applications within disturbed boreal environments.
Accuracy and Uncertainty
We develop software tools and statistical methods for improving the assessment of spatial accuracy and uncertainty, specifically for GIScience applications and categorical map comparisons.
