Her current research interests include soil-landscape modeling (pedometrics) and quantitative assessments of environmental quality (envrionmetrics). She is currently researching how ecosystem services provided by multi-functional watersheds/landscapes are affected by the type, intensity, and spatial arrangement of land use as well as underlying environmental landscape properties (e.g. soils, topography, land cover and geology).
