Introducing the North Carolina Coastal Atlas
Author
Allen, Thomas Richard
Abstract
Dr. Allen is the director of C-SIM at ECU and the co-director of ECU's Center for Geographic
Information Science. He is interested in understanding spatial and temporal change in the
natural environment, particularly vegetation and related environmental processes in order to
inform human actions. His research therefore emphasizes the development of geospatial
technologies such as satellite remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and
global positioning systems (GPS). His primary areas of study are coastal and mountain environments
of North America, Central America, and Fennoscandia. His current research projects
include spatial analysis of coastal barrier morphodynamics; mapping mangroves and
coastal change in Costa Rica; developing new algorithms for satellite remote-sensing monitoring
and change detection; remote sensing and GIS data fusion for characterizing estuarine
processes; and investigating biophysical patterns and processes in subarctic, alpine,
and mountain environments.
