This project supported the Ph.D dissertation research of my student, Christine Halverson.  Christine conducted field studies at Denver Center and at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport as part of an evaluation of prototype Air Traffic Management tools:  Her dissertation focused on the strategies that controllers developed to use the features of the user interface provided by the Final Approach Spacing Tool (FAST).
