Center for Geospatial Analytics - NC State University
Dr. Georgina Sanchez is a Research Scholar and Faculty Fellow with the Center for Geospatial Analytics at NC State University. Her interdisciplinary research integrates land and climate change science, hydrology, and geospatial analytics to tackle complex sustainability challenges. Georgina applies data-driven approaches to understand past trends and develop models that project future changes over the course of years and decades. Using scenario-based modeling, she explores the interplay between urban development, climate stressors, and human adaptive responses. Georgina's research addresses questions such as: how will climate-induced shifts in human mobility influence future development patterns?; how can future threat predictions inform land use planning, conservation strategies, resources allocation?; and how can scenario-based modeling be leveraged to discover innovative, sustainable, and equitable growth solutions in the face of future uncertainties? Her research also involves participatory modeling techniques to engage communities, stakeholders, and end-users in co-producing technologies and strategies for addressing natural resource challenges. She holds a Ph.D. in Forestry and Environmental Resources from NCSU, an M.S. in Biosystems Engineering from Michigan State University, and a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Costa Rica.
