简介

My research is focused on understanding how the spatial, temporal, economic, and health components of environmental information influence public policy. Such a focus has led to research findings in support of: a policy framework for setting environmental priorities in the Midwest and the nation, a comprehensive assessment of the water resources of the United States, and the development of state-of-the-art screening techniques for the rapid detection of contaminants in the environment. Much of my research on environmental policy has a foundation in one or more of the following areas: place-based approaches; watershed protection; agriculture; measurement, monitoring, and modeling; integration of science & technology; environmental justice; environmental and natural resources economics; environmental impact assessment; and regional & international development.
