RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr. C's research interests are diverse and all revolve around geospatial technologies.

Dr. C uses GIS and remote sensing technologies to assess sources of non-point source pollution in the Maumee River Watershed and Lake Erie through the Maumee River GIS and the Lake Erie Center. We develop land cover classifications using remote sensing linking that to wetlands in the watershed (Lake Erie Center Sensor Project).

Dr. C uses remote sensing and GIS to investigate the potential health hazards due to the application of biosolids to agricultural fields. 

Dr. C investigates the impact of land cover on surface temperature and the energy budget. He engages K-12 teachers and students through the SATELLITES Program which utilizes surface temperature observations through GLOBE. He also engages in the education programs: ESSEA and LEADERS
