primarily a Remote Sensing specialist interested in applying
Earth imaging technologies to real-world problems. I integrate
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with
Data Mining to improve the application of these techniques to
environmental management problems. Currently, I am developing
automated systems for detecting wetland invasive vegetation
and creating new algorithms for quantitatively analyzing and
comparing complex spatio-temporal data sets." |

| "My
research concerns the politics of mobility in cities. I am interested
in both how people move around cities and how urban space is
configured for movement. I am interested in how the various
stakeholders and factions in urban growth debates position themselves
and how they conceptualize mobility. My dissertation focused
on transportation and land use debates in Atlanta, Georgia --
the poster child of sprawl. I am also interested in a comparative
framework between Atlanta and the Bay Area." |

|
| "My
Research addresses population and community ecology of threatened
and endangered species as they relate and potentially can contribute
to local conservation efforts and regional scale coastal and
marine management schemes. My emphasis is on the evolution of
consistent standards of field methodology and monitoring techniques,
and on the creation of educational materials that can be applied
to community-based conservation planning for coastal and marine
areas. The use of flagship species can symbolize coastal and
marine conservation in locally associated areas. Conservation
planning based on these animals can be designed for the on-going
management and monitoring of coastal areas based on community
ecology, oceanographic parameters, and local conservation issues.
My dissertation was a study of the assessment, mapping, and
management techniques used in an area which has a marine mammal
population potentially threatened by coastal development and
increasing fishing and tourist activities: the dugong on the
Andaman coast of Thailand." |

| "My
research addresses issues of disturbance and human and floral
and faunal interactions. My emphasis is understanding how plant
species and communities react to natural and human caused disturbances
such as fire, mining, or urban development.
I am currently involved in projects for the California Department
of Fish and Game looking at Ione Manzanita populations and distribution,
with the national Park Service documenting the effects of the
1995 Mt Vision Fire on the Bishop Pine community and working
with the city of San Francisco on their Significant Natural
Areas Management Plan. I am also interested in environmental
and geographic education. Check out my web page at http://bss.sfsu.edu/holzman/ for further information." |

| "My
research interests focus on interaction between Earth's surface
and its atmosphere. This includes exchanges of radiation, convective
energy, and carbon dioxide as well as mixing process in the
lower atmosphere. This field of interest lies at the cross-roads
of a number of interdisciplinary topics within the Earth sciences,
providing for interesting collaboration with hydrologists, ecologists,
glaciologists and air pollution modelers. My methodological
approach is through field observations using a variety of electronic
instrumentation, as well as spatial modeling. Examples of my
recent research include: Application of micrometeorological
techniques to investigate forest-atmosphere exchange of carbon
and energy; Spatial variability of surface energy exchanges
and complex wind fields and associated pollutant dispersion
patterns in mountainous terrain; Sublimation rates through ice-cored
moraines in Antarctic, and; Driving mechanisms and physical
structure of tropical sea breezes and their interaction with
thunderstorm activity. Check out my web page at http://bss.sfsu.edu/andrewo/research/ for further information." |

| "My research addresses the application of multidimensional GIS to both scientific and historical research. My emphasis is on the use and diffusion of techniques for representing three- and four-dimensional data. Ongoing projects include developing techniques to define and describe essential pelagic habitat, developing histories of environmental variables affecting larval pollock recruitment and survival in Shelikof Strait, Alaska, and the use of GIS and visualizations in the hirtory of recent arctic science. My dissertation was on the history and development of the Stommel Diagram - a representation of the spatial and temporal aspects of oceanic phenomena - and how similar techniques might be applied to current uses of GIS in fisheries." |
