 abstract: John Young is a Research Biologist (Biogeography/GIS) whose research interests
   include developing innovative applications of GIS and remote sensing technologies
   to assess the impact of landscape structure on the distribution of aquatic and
   terrestrial species and their habitats.  His past research activities have included
   assessing watershed land use effects on aquatic communities, modeling the distribution
   of endangered, rare, and at risk plants and animals, remote sensing monitoring
   and assessment of forest vegetation communities, and characterizing forest structure
   and change using aerial lidar.  His work has also included development of risk
   and vulnerability models using multi-criteria decision support tools and geospatial
   modeling, and development of spatial sampling designs for field data collection.
