People & Projects
 Lea Berrang Ford
Health geography, global health, epidemiology, ecohealth, spatial analysis, and GIS. Research interests: the role of environmental and climate changes on emerging infectious diseases in Canada and East Africa. Current projects: Sleeping sickness in Uganda; Climate change and malaria in Canada.
 Margaret Kalacska
My main research interests include ecological and forensice applications of remote sensing, HPC hyperspectral data analysis, machine learning (pattern recognition, Bayesian Networks, classification), spatial modeling and tropical ecology.
 Bernhard Lehner
My main research theme is global hydrology. I analyze the terrestrial water cycle of large river basins, continents, or the entire globe and investigate the effects of climate change on water resources, hydrologic regimes, and environmental flow requirements. Hydrological models, global data sets, and GIS tools are key components of my research.
 Navin Ramankutty
Global land use change, global ecosystem modeling, global food production and security, global carbon cycling. I develop and use global data sets (satellite data, census data, etc.) to understand how human activities such as deforestation and agriculture are modifying the world's landscapes. I further build and use Earth system models to study the interactions between land use, climate, and ecosystems. I study land-use change as a global environmental change problem, just as other scientists study climate change.
 Jeanine Rhemtulla
Landscape ecology, social-ecological systems, historical ecology, spatial analysis, and GIS. I am interested in the long-term interactions between human land-use practices and ecosystem dynamics, with a view to understanding how inhabited landscapes can sustain human livelihoods while maintaining other critical ecosystem services. I work mostly in forest ecosystems, use a combination of field and historical research methods, and have projects in both tropical and temperate regions.
 Raja Sengupta
Geographic Information Science (including GIS), Spatial Decision Support Systems, Agent-based Modeling and Water Resources Management. He is currently working to create agent-based models of conservation payment acceptance by farmers in rural, agrarian watersheds. He is also interested in applying GIS to study preservation and protection of natural areas, and is presently working on identifying the natural regeneration patterns of mangrove wetlands.
 Renee Sieber
Use and value of information technology by marginalized communities, community based organizations, and social movement groups; public participation GIS/participatory GIS/participatory Geoweb; use of GIS in the environmental movement; development of e-commerce tools for use in marginalized communities. Sieber co-created the GIS-SIG study group of Canadian Association of Geographers and created the International PPGIS Conference. She currently serves on the executive committee of Spatial Knowledge and Information Canada.
