Featured Research Initiatives

  • Forests, Agriculture, and Urban Transitions in Mainland Southeast Asia

    This research initiative studies transitions in forests, cash crops, and urban areas using remote-sensing and socioeconomic data from Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and Vietnam.

  • Spatial Information Laboratory

    The Spatial Information Laboratory is working to develop and increase the use of remote sensing data, geographic information systems (GIS), and global positioning system (GPS) technology for mapping and assessing environmental conditions throughout Asia and the Pacific region, including Hawaii.

  • Mapping Forest Dynamics after 25 Years of Community Management in the Middle Hills of Nepal

    Multi-disciplinary research is analyzing forest transitions and associated socioeconomic variables in Nepal, where an innovative system of community forest management has received worldwide recognition but little documentation, in part due to the difficulty of mapping forest cover in mountainous environments.
