Researchers

Dr. Bae is a spatial cognition researcher whose work focuses on geographic visualization, navigation behavior, and social interaction and decision-making.

Sari Blakeley researches climate variability and farmer impacts in West Africa.

I study the geomorphology of rivers, quantifying their spatio-temporal evolution using field data and remote sensing techniques.

Dr. Daneshgar's research interests lie mainly in the areas of marine oil spill and cryo-hydrologic remote sensing.

The intersections of climate, food systems, food security, and human health.

Chris develops data sets and analyses that help us cope with climate change and extremes.

Analysis of climate data, forecasts, and remotely sensed and modeled agroclimatic data to support early warning for food insecurity.

I am an analytic cartographer, with special interests in gazetteers, topographical and geological maps. What is the first thing people recognize on a map? Text. What kind of map downplays text the most? Geological.

Currently working on using remotely sensed vegetation data for enhanced drought monitoring and evapotranspiration prediction.

Corbin Hodges is broadly interested in researching the causes of poverty and ways in which to sustainably improve human well-being and conducts his research in two distinct populations.

Analysis of precipitation, NDVI, and other agroclimatic indicators to identify food insecurity in developing countries.

Dryland isotope ecohydrologist. Interested in deserts, droughts, floods, climate change.

I'm interested in understanding & modeling the behavioral correlates of pedestrian wayfinders based on their spatial familiarity.

Famine Early Warning

I aim is to provide advanced hydroclimate forecast applications to facilitate water management and to promote humanitarian actions to prepare extreme hydrological hazards.

Spatial Cognition, Blind Navigation Assistive Devises for Travel, Accessibility Parameters and Enhancements Multi-sensory Interfaces.

Plant ecophysiology, global change biology, environmental isotopes, dendroecology, ecosystem modeling.

My research addresses forest and savanna ecosystem responses to and recovery from disturbances such as drought, wildfire, and long-term land use.

Chris primarily works on operation of marine instrumentation, including in-situ sensors, ROVs, and AUVs, as well as software development for processing data these platforms produce.

Applying spatial optimization techniques at the intersection of data-science, computer science, and geography.

My training is in Remote Sensing, applied to fire science in chaparral. I've also looked at oil spills, thermal IR data, and currently I'm studying crop area of subsistence farms in Sub-Saharan Africa.

I study how the interactions of the biosphere and the climate shape the future of carbon, water, and energy in the Earth System.

I work in the field of Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) for stormwater management (operations and practices) that protect, restore, or mimic the natural water cycle.

I work on the evaluation and design of social policies, with a focus on social protection, food security and nutrition. I am also interested in studying risk-sharing networks and consumption smoothing in village economies.

Shrad is a large-scale hydrologist with expertise in drought monitoring, and seasonal scale climate and drought forecasting. His research focuses on improving drought monitoring and early warning capabilities.

Quantitative, participatory research investigating knowledge systems in small scale agriculture, and collaboration with formal science.

I'm an Aeolian (by wind) geomorphologist, interested in dust emission mechanisms, sediment transport and erosion, soil physicochemical process, sand dune migration and coastal environments.

Geospatial semantics, spatial statistics, GeoAI, geo-knowledge graphs, fundamental GIS.
