My research interests are in the areas of geographic knowledge
representation, knowledge discovery, spatio-temporal data models,
spatial cognition, AI approaches to knowledge representation,
geocomputation, and GIS design.
Since the early 1990's, my work has centered on the representation
of time and temporal dynamics, including database, visual and cognitive
representation and how these interrelate. Arguing that the human user
and the computer must be viewed as components of a single system,
my book, Representations
of Space and Time, explores an integrated perspective, including
philosophical, cognitive and technical aspects. See www.geovista.psu.edu/STNexus
for some of this work.
In a similar vein, I investigate approaches for developing advanced
tools for deriving insight from large and diverse collections of
space-time information.
I am also interested in the impacts of environment, and most
particularly environmental pollution, on
disease. This relates to my work on the representation and analysis of
complex space-time processes.
