I am a geographer, broadly trained in geospatial technologies and natural-human system interactions. I am interested in functional mapping of environment using innovative methods, multiple data sources, and when appropriate, volunteered geographic information. Functional mapping seeks to capture in spatial form the structure of a natural or social system in order to understand system function, management context, and possible consequences of change or management decisions on pattern and process. The systems I focus on vary in type and scale, and include Sierran forests, San Francisco Bay wetlands, the California delta, and urban neighborhoods, but all of them have a complex spatial structure that can be mapped using geospatial tools, and all of them have an interested group of stakeholders for whom the research results have importance.

We have lots of projects ongoing! Check out our website at: http://kellylab.berkeley.edu/. I am also Faculty Director of the Geospatial Innovation Facility (GIF), we offer a range of workshops and other exciting geospatial-related services. Check it out: GIF.
