• Spring 2018 B.S. Geographical Analysis

Research

Adan is interested in bioregional planning and the relationships that are shared between urban and natural systems. His interests are centered on creating sustainable systems using geospatial technology so as to better implement sustainable practices in urban settings. Adan is also interested in how geomorphic and hydrologic processes shape riverine landscapes; and how geospatial analyses can help better understand the impact of climate change on terrestrial and aquatic (riverine) systems. To be more well rounded, he is currently working on earning a Drone Pilot’s License to be able to obtain sub-meter aerial imagery.
