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.

Research Projects
  • Urban tree management in the development and maintenance of urban landscapes.
  • Dealing with Root-Pavement Conflicts in Urban-Suburban New Jersey
