Research Interests

 

Geography of Music

Cyber Geography

Cultural & Natural Resources

GIS & Cartography

 

My current research interests revolve around ways in which the world wide web has transformed the dissemination of music and provided opportunities for historic preservation and cultural crossings.

 

In addition, I have ongoing research interests related to the management of rail trails as both cultural and natural resources.

 

I am also continually looking for ways in which my students can utilize geospatial technologies in community based projects.
