• SPATIALLY-ENABLED DECISION-SUPPORT.  Applying structured methodologies to enhance the decision-making process.  Integrating science-based modeling and spatial data to perform landscape assessments in a multi-criteria, scenario-based evaluation process.  Supporting adaptive management by linking management alternatives to expected outcomes.
• SPATIALLY-ENABLED SIMULATION and VISUALIZATION.  Applying methods and tools to build intuitive representations of complex systems, data and phenomena.  Developing interactive 3D and 4D visualizations with dynamic spatial/temporal data.  Applying new theory, methods and tools in artificial intelligence and agent-based modeling to develop simulations to visualize the potential impacts and effects of decision alternatives.
