Led by Travis Flohr at Penn State as part of the Stuckeman Center for Design Computing and Mehdi Heris at Hunter College, the geo4eco lab works to conduct fieldwork and to use GIS data and statistical models to envision and create a thermally comfortable and biodiverse future.
The goal is to collaboratively plan and design healthy, climate-resilient, and biodiverse communities by leveraging community participation, spatial data analyses, ecology, and design to mitigate extreme heat and biodiversity loss.
