1. Drones, and ICT for sustainable development & resource governance
from earth science to information science & analysis to agricultural monitoring to ICT4SD to digital humanities, I spend a lot of time thinking and writing about the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS, otherwise known as drones) for data collection in social-environmental systems. Along with colleagues from ESIP, RDA and beyond, I've convened sessions and presented at conferences, meetings and workshops all over the world.
Currently, I'm most interested [ optimistically & critically ] in the opportunities and tensions within
human-technology-environment interactions.

2. Agriculture & Climate, and soil biogeochemistry cycles
from collecting biophysical data in the field to lab processing & analysis to talking with farmers (and others), I spend a lot of time thinking and writing about the management of agricultural lands and soils. Along with colleagues from the Adair Lab, UVM Extension and beyond, I've shared and presented at many conferences, local programs, and farm field days.
Currently, I'm most interested [ optimistically & critically ] in the synergies and tradeoffs between
managing agricultural systems for both social and environmental resilience.
