Expertise Summary

Current research includes survey and testing of established landscapes to develop canopy sizing coefficients for designing better parking lot ordinances, assessing tree growth in various pavement-tree planting details to develop realistic canopy size expectations for urban design. A second research area is the development of a modulus of root reaction in pavement design to accommodate the presence of street tree roots in integrated tree-pavement systems and objectively evaluate pavement protection strategies.
