Applications of Remote Sensing for Local and Global Sustainable Development Goals
October 7, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
FreeModerated by Kris Johnson – GIS Instructor (UMD) and Research Scientist at NRRI
Participating Panelists
- Dr. Kathryn Grace, Associate Professor of Geography, Environment and Society – UMN
I use survey data, field work (focus groups, observation and interviews), remotely
sensed data and other types of geophysical data to investigate the ways that
people interact with their environment. In particular, I focus on food insecurity,
children’s health and women’s health in a context of climate change. I also focus
on how women manage their nutritional needs while pregnant and
breastfeeding. As part of this research, I investigate the decisions that women
and men make regarding childbearing and contraceptive use while coping with
food insecurity. My research is primarily focused in some of the poorest
countries in the world in West Africa, East Africa and Central America. - Jodi Slick, Founder and CEO – Ecolibrium3
Jodi Slick is the founder and CEO of Ecolibrium3, leading the organization’s
community resilience and sustainability work. Jodi previously founded Common
Ground Construction, a green affordable housing social enterprise. She received
her Master of Educational Administration and BS in Broad Field Science
(Chemistry and Physics) from the University of Wisconsin Superior. She has also
completed training with the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University
in Social Entrepreneurship. Jodi was named a White House Champion of Change
for Building Resilient Communities in 2013. - Dr. Chris Wright, Research Associate – Natural Resources Research Institute
My current research is centered on natural climate solutions, in this case using
forests to capture and store excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. My
previous research has addressed agricultural land use/land cover change, effects
of climate change on the Prairie Pothole Region, maintenance of habitat
connectivity for wildlife, and remote sensing methods for ecosystem monitoring at
continental scales.
