Oklahoma Space Grant Consortium/NASA EPSCoR Grant

My departmental colleague, Amy Frazier, and I were recently granted funds from the Oklahoma NASA Space Grant Consortium/NASA EPSCoR to study urban change in United States cities. The project is titled 'Identifying and Quantifying Urban Change with Remote Sensing and GIS'. We plan to look at a number of large cities first focusing on those in Oklahoma and Texas and later on some in the Northeast such as Buffalo. We are collaborating with Dr. Son Nghiem at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Check out the project website here: http://urban.jpl.nasa.gov/. We have a number of graduate students working with us including my advisee Emily Ellis, Colton Flynn, Yun Zhao, and Gustavo Ovando. Should be a fun project!
