geospatial analytics, infectious disease modeling, landscape change
Developing and applying geospatial analytics for scientific discovery, communication of complex ideas, and decision-making––with particular attention on new methods and tools to forecast when and where things happen. Over the course of my 20+ research program, I have produced over 125 peer-reviewed journal articles, secured over $18M in funding from external grants, and mentored 18 Ph.D. students to graduation. I have extensive leadership experience in directing university research centers and currently direct the Center for Geospatial Analytics at North Carolina State University, where I led the establishment of a new doctoral program in Geospatial Analytics in 2018. As president of the U.S. International Association of Landscape Ecology (2016-18) I led a change to expand US-IALE to all of North America (IALE-North America) to broaden diversity and facilitate participation by underrepresented scientists, practitioners, and students.

Uncertainties in mapping forest carbon in urban ecosystems
JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, 187, 229–238.
author keywords: Urban forest; Carbon mapping; Uncertainty analysis; Remote sensing resolution; Neighborhood pattern
MeSH headings : Carbon / analysis; Cities; Forests; Geography; North Carolina; Remote Sensing Technology / methods; Reproducibility of Results; Residence Characteristics; Trees / physiology; Uncertainty
TL;DR:
It is found that changing remote sensing data resolution introduced noticeable uncertainties (variation) in forest carbon estimation at the neighborhood level, and for both LiDAR and NAIP, urban neighborhoods with a higher degree of anthropogenic disturbance unveiled a higher level of uncertainty in carbon mapping.

MeSH headings : Bayes Theorem; Biodiversity; California; Ecosystem; Host Specificity; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Introduced Species; Linear Models; Models, Biological; Phytophthora / pathogenicity; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Plants; Population Density; Trees / microbiology
TL;DR:
Evidence is found for pathogen dilution, whereby disease risk was lower in sites with higher species diversity, after accounting for potentially confounding effects of host density and landscape heterogeneity, suggesting that although nearly all plants in the ecosystem are hosts, alternative hosts may dilute disease transmission by competent hosts, thereby buffering forest health from infectious disease.

Influence of Abiotic and Environmental Factors on the Density and Infection Prevalence of Ixodes pacificus (Acari: Ixodidae) With Borrelia burgdorferi
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 48(1), 20–28.
author keywords: abiotic limits; disease ecology; path analysis; spatial autocorrelation
MeSH headings : Animals; Borrelia burgdorferi / physiology; California; Ecosystem; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Ixodes / microbiology; Microclimate; Population Density; Quercus
TL;DR:
It is found that in certain years but not others, temperature maxima in the dry season may constrain the density and density of infected I. pacificus nymphs, and biotic or stochastic factors may play a more important role in determining tick density.

TL;DR:
Examination of the influence of land-cover changes between 1942 and 2000 on the establishment of an invasive pathogen, Phytophthora ramorum, concludes that enlargement of woodlands and closure of canopy gaps facilitated establishment of P. ramorum by increasing the area occupied by inoculum-production foliar hosts and enhancing forest microclimate conditions.

TL;DR:
Large genetic variation in susceptibility to Phytophthora ramorum occurs in its principal foliar host U. californica, but local environment mediates expression of susceptibility in nature, which explains most variation in field disease level.
