Summary

I teach Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), GIS Institutional Design, Geodatabase Design, and Landscape Ecology.  I am currently putting a lot of energy into learning how to use virtual worlds like Second Life as a venue for teaching GIS concepts and ideas.   My research areas are effective methods of GIS Education and rapid environmental assessment methodologies in arid environments.  I also write textbooks and tradebooks on GIS.  My latest entry is GIS for Dummies.
