Impact

My research focuses on urban land cover change analysis, spatio-temporal aspects of biodiversity and conservation, and impacts of urbanization on the natural and built environment. I use urban growth modeling techniques and other GIS and spatial analysis tools for my research to examine the impact of urban growth on biodiversity and conservation.
