Current Research
- Currently funded research on the Nang Rong Projects
Complexity Theory - NASA
- The proposed research uses unique multi-thematic and spatially-explicit data combined with expert knowledge, a set of analytic results, and dynamic modeling approaches to describe, explain, and explore the consequences of land cover and land use change (LCLUC) in Southeast Asia.
Complexity Theory - NSF
- The proposed research uses unique multi-thematic and spatially-explicit data combined with expert knowledge, a set of analytic results, and dynamic modeling approaches to describe, explain, and explore the consequences of land cover and land use change (LUCC) in Northeast Thailand.
Social Networks & Migration
- The proposed research merges traditions in the study of social networks, social demography, the life course framework, and survey methodology. It examines the potential of the social network framework, social network data and techniques of analysis to bring fresh insights into social demography, the life course framework, and survey methodology. And conversely, it uses social demography and the life course framework to understand aspects of the determinants of the shape of social networks.
Roadmap
- This project brings together seven research teams working on characterizations, explanations, and predictions of land use change in frontier regions around the globe.

Spatial Data
- Incorporated into the Nang Rong Project following the 1994-5 fieldwork, the robust Nang Rong spatial database synthesizes datasets from a host of disparate sources. Included in this unique set is a variety of vector and raster GIS data, remotely sensed imagery, aerial photography, and derived spatial products.
