Bruce Hannon has completed several research projects funded by NSF, U.S. Department of Energy and the University's Energy Research Group in Energy involving energy-economic input-output modeling. State of Illinois support has been directed towards and the modeling of ecologic systems. His research interests include ecological, economic, energy systems, conservation and resource utilization, the conservation and employment impacts of changes in technology and consumption, and dynamic spatial modeling as a tool for land-use decision making. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in Engineering Mechanics.

Bruce teaches upper undergraduate and graduate level courses in dynamic spatial modeling at the University of Illinois:

GEOG 367: Dynamic Simulation of Natural Resource Problems

GEOG 368: Biological Modeling

GEOG 369: Spatial Ecosystem Modeling

GEOG 381: Modeling Earth and Environmental Systems
