Career Summary:
I have worked as a scientist for the Forest Service, Northeastern
Research Station, for 32 years. I do research to evaluate the influence
of trees in urban areas on physical environment--wind, air temperature,
humidity, and solar and thermal radiation--and the effects of the
environmental changes on health and comfort of people, energy use
for heating and cooling buildings, soil and stream temperatures,
and outdoor sound propagation. I participate in the Baltimore Ecosystem
Study (a National Science Foundation Long Term Ecological Research
program.) by directing the collection and analysis of meteorological
data.
