Research project in the Kremer laboratory focus on conceptual and quantitative investigation of urban ecosystem services (UES) as they interact with the urban social-ecological system. In particular, we study questions of scale, thresholds, tradeoffs and synergies in the supply and demand of UES, access to and the distribution of UES, the relationship between urban structure and the provision of UES as well as the influence of land change and development policies on UES. Using interdisciplinary approaches to spatial analysis, GIS and remote sensing the lab investigates: 1. Mapping and Modeling Ecosystem Service in Social-Ecological Urban Systems; 2. Structure of Urban Landscapes and Ecological Function; 3. Transformation of urban vacant land into public use resource; 4. Urban food systems.
