Jorgenson’s research has focused on the development of ecological and classifications of military lands and national parks throughout Alaska, which have employed analysis of satellite imagery, true-color and infrared photography, ground-truthing and GIS spatial analysis to develop maps suitable for land-use assessments. Jorgenson has also been involved in assessing effects of global warming on sea-level rise, ecological changes on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, coastal erosion along the Beaufort Sea coast, permafrost degradation in central and northern Alaska as well as monitoring landscape change in southwestern Alaska.
