Learn from professors who are studying issues ranging from the tropical to the Arctic.
Dr. Brenning's interests are related to spatial classification techniques, geostatistics and terrain analysis, and their application in cryospheric research, mountain geomorphology and Precision Agriculture.
His most recent research focuses on the assessment of spatial classification techniques, on landslide susceptibility modeling and the analysis of rock glacier distribution especially in the Andes (Chile, Argentina, Ecuador). Geostatistical methods in Precision Agriculture are another area of his recent research.
Dr. Peter DeadmanDr. Deadman is studying how wetland vegetation is responding to climate change, and how geographic information systems (GIS) and hydrological models can be in resource management, both in Canada and China.
Dr. Dudycha's research focuses on geographic information systems; automated cartography; urban system modelling; marketing geography. Dr. Dudycha teaches courses such as Introduction to Cartography and Remote Sensing, Data Management and Analysis using Geographical Information Systems, and Spatial Data and Spatial Databases.
Dr. Feick's research focuses on the development and the use of GIS-based decision support tools for land management and planning primarily in Canada and the Caribbean.
His research interests centre on group-based spatial decision support systems, tourism and development issues in small island states, multi-criteria analysis methods, and school facility system planning.
Dr. Kelly's interests are in snow and ice hydrology and especially in the measurement of snow and ice using Earth-observing remote sensing instruments. The research focuses on the use of measurements from remote sensing instruments to estimate global water storage in seasonal snowpacks.
Dr. Kelly has conducted field work in several parts of the world to support these activities (e.g., the USA, Norway, and the UK).
Prior to moving to UW, Dr. Kelly was a research scientist in the Laboratory for Hydrospheric Processes, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and University of Maryland Baltimore County, USA.
Dr. Ellsworth LeDrewDr. LeDrew works in extreme climates: studying climate change in the arctic and remote sensing of tropical coral reefs.
Dr. LeDrew is an internationally respected researcher and has received numerous awards for his outstanding research, including the Canadian Remote Sensing Society Gold Medal Award (2005), Fellow of the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute (2002), and Faculty of Environmental Studies Research Award (2002).
Dr. Li's research ranges from urban remote sensing to distributed geospatial information services.
His current research interests include 3D city modeling, feature extraction from image and LiDAR data, impervious surface mapping, digital terrain modeling and analysis, environmental visualization, multi-sensor data fusion, spatial sensor web, Internet GIS for risk and disaster management, informal settlement management in Southern Africa.
