She investigates the relation ships between human activities, the land surface, and the biophysical and biogeochemical processes that regulate Earth's habitability. She is interested in observing land cover and land use change at regional and global scales with remotely sensed data and exploring the implications for such ecological services as climate regulation, the carbon cycle, and biodiversity.

His research interests are in satellite remote sensing of the ocean and land surface vegetation. Ocean applications include skin sea surface temperature, the computation of surface currents from satellite images, mapping of geostrophic currents from satellite altimetry, and general air-sea interaction studies.

In addition, he has written a nontechnical book explaining topics such as the ozone hole and the greenhouse effect, titled The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Climate Change. Among his many honors was his designation as the Walter Orr Roberts Lecturer in Interdisciplinary Sciences for 1999 by the American Meteorological Society "in recognition of significant contributions to the understanding of atmospheric processes derived from multidisciplinary research activities."
