OverviewAI-generated summary

Kevin Boston's research focuses on the intersection of forest management, policy, and sustainability, with a particular emphasis on leveraging geographic information systems (GIS) and data processing techniques. His work investigates how sustainability principles are articulated in forest management plans, examining comparative analyses across different regions, such as the United States and Turkey. Boston also explores the integration of Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into natural resource co-management frameworks, as demonstrated by his work on tribal co-management of university forests.

His scholarship encompasses a broad range of topics within forestry and environmental science, including urban forestry, forest products, and wildlife habitat relationships. Boston's expertise in GIS is applied to the processing of geographic data, specifically raster data, contributing to spatial analysis in environmental research. His publication record includes studies on forest policies and the external pressures that influence them.

Boston holds a distinguished publication record, with 157 total publications and 2,549 citations, reflected in his h-index of 23. He is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
