Graduate
Students, Post-docs, and Researchers
-
Kristin Byrd -- Remote
Sensing, Endangered Species Habitat -- I am a first year Ph.D. student
working with Maggi Kelly. I received my B.S. in Environmental Science from
Cornell University in 1993, my M.A. in Ecology from San Francisco State
University in 1998. My research interests include using remote sensing
to monitor restored wetlands, and monitoring changes in habitat of endangered
species found in wetlands. kbyrd@nature.berkeley.edu
-
Nicholas Clinton --
Endangered
Species Habitat, Silviculture, GIS -- I graduated from Cal in 1995 with
a BS in Resource Management and returning in 1998 to get a Masters of Forestry.
My research interests are diverse, ranging from the assessment of endangered
species habitat, to development of alternative silviculture, to the integration
of non-spatial models to GIS. I am currently assisting with the wildfire
emissions project. nclinton@nature.berkeley.edu

Shaokui Ge -- (gesk@nature.berkeley.edu)
-
Yinyan Guo -- GIS,
Soil Diversity -- I am a post-doc working on a project to utilize GIS technology
and recently developed data base to determine major soil types of the state
and country. The friction of these soils are: 1.) Urban land, 2.)Agricultural
land, and 3.) Undistrubed land. I will use the STASGO soil database of
the United States as the indicator for original soil diversity in the county
and state, overlay with USGS NLCD (National Land Cover Data) map of the
United States (a database derived from interpretation of high-altitude
aerial photography) to determine urban land and agricultural use of soil
types, and a quantitive analysis of the fraction of soil types remaining
in undisturbed condition in California and elsewhere. yguo@nature.berkeley.edu

Faith
Kearns -- Aquatic Ecology, GIS -- My research interests are
centered around freshwater resource assessment and, more specifically,
the relationship between land use, physical habitat, and aquatic macroinvertebrate
communities in streams. I am currently wokring on a project evaluating
the relationship between spatial and ecological scale in the Fraser River
Basin, British Columbia. fkearns@nature.berkeley.edu

Elia Machado -- (eliamachado@olemail.com)
-
Susan Mahler -- Remote
Sensing, GIS, Spatial Modeling -- My Ph.D. research will be on the estimation
of spatial variability in vineyards and related management applications
of remote sensing and GIS technology. My M.S. title is "Seasonal Spectral
Reflectance Characteristics of Four Varietals of Vitis Vinidera in Napa
County." smahler@nature.berkeley.edu
-
Xueliang Mei -- (xlmei@nature.berkeley.edu)
-
Mulan Mu -- (mulan@gisc.berkeley.edu)
-
David Newburn --
Land-use
Change Modeling, GIS, Habitat Fragmentation -- My Ph.D thesis is "Integrating
physical and economic information to forecast vineyard expansion in Sonoma
County and the concomitant habitat fragmentation impacts." dnewburn@nature.berkeley.edu
-
Ruiliang
Pu -- Remote sensing, Ecosystem Modeling, GIS -- My research interests
include application of remote sensing technology in evaluating productivity
of forest land and ecosystem modeling, extracting forest canopy structure
parameters and ecosystem classification with an emphasis on the use of
hyperspectral data, digital CCD camera imagery, and neural network techniques.
Right now, I am working on two projects--fire emission estimation for California
and hardwood rangeland change detection in California with remote sensing
and GIS and GPS technologies. rpu@nature.berkeley.edu

Edmund Seto -- (eseto@soda.berkeley.edu)
-
Jim
Scarborough -- GIS, Environmental Planning, Citizen Participation --
I am the project coordinator and GIS Specialist on the Wildland Fire Emissions
Study. This contract with the California Air Resources Board is to use
GIS and remote sensing to estimate particulate matter emissions from wildland
fires. I maintain the online
project homepage. jscar@gisc.berkeley.edu

-
Matt
Wacker -- Land Use and Environmental Planning, Landscape Ecology,
GIS -- I am interested in the ecological and spatial implications of habitat
conservation plans and mitigation measures undertaken through the State
and Federal Endangered Species Acts, the Clean Water Act, and local land
use planning regulations. Right now I'm developing research questions to
analyze these issues using vernal pool mitigation sites in the Sierra Nevada
foothills and Central Valley as possible test cases. mwacker@nature.berkeley.edu
-
Leo
Wang -- GIS, Remote Sensing -- My current project is salt field change
detection in Florida. My Master Thesis title is "Application of WebGIS
in building emergency system." lwang@nature.berkeley.edu
-
Miao Xin -- (miaoxin@nature.berkeley.edu)
-
Bing
Xu -- Remote Sensing Image Processing, Analysis and Application, GIS
Theory, Techniques and Application -- My Ph.D. research includes the use
of remote sensing and GIS for schistosomiasis control in Sichuan, China.

Ming
Xu -- Ecosystem Modeling and Management -- I am currently a
Ph.D. student working on Ecosystem Modeling and Management. I will join
CAMFER as a Post Doc very soon. My Ph.D. research focuses on ecosystem
carbon measurement, modeling, and management in Blodgett Forest Research
Station. (mingxu@nature.berkeley.edu)
