Research focuses generally on human interaction with street trees with three focal points:

• Correlating street trees and their benefits with US Census variables such as median household income and percentage owner occupancy.
• Modeling street tree populations, especially species composition and associated benefits, in New York State.
• A web-based visual preference study of street trees in streetscapes using computer generated animation.

The objectives of this project are to rate woody plants for their ability to withstand progressively lower root temperatures until their minimum acceptable temperature is identified, to identify plants better adapted to surviving cold root temperatures, to determine when during the season these trees' root systems reach their most cold acclimated state and to determine how potentially lethal root zone temperatures may be mitigated by the use of containers of increasing volume and novel design.

Screening of Acer truncatum and closely related species for tolerance to environmental stress to assess their potential as street trees. Focus on tree form, drought, alkalinity and salt tolerances. Also, investigate the potential for creating a sterile form of A. truncatum.
