I am interested in the ecology of coupled land-infrastructure systems across urban-to-rural gradients. I spatially track landscape transitions and analyze them in the context of sustainable development and the water-energy-food nexus. I follow a land system science approach on social-ecological interactions, trying to reconcile multiple land use and nature conservation interests. I use and produce maps, aerial images and spatial models and investigate how their accessibility influences just sustainability transformations and transdisciplinary learning.
