Gargi Chaudhuri

Gargi Chaudhuri is a Professor in Geography & Environmental Science at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, specializing in geospatial technologies and urban analytics. Her research develops computational methods including machine learning, spatial modeling, and drone-based remote sensing for analyzing urbanization, environmental changes, and aquatic invasive species detection.

Research Focus:

• Urban growth modeling and simulation
• High-resolution remote sensing applications
• Machine learning for environmental monitoring
• Spatiotemporal analysis of land systems

Her recent research examines urbanization patterns in Delhi, drone-based invasive species detection in the Mississippi River, and glacial changes in the Himalayas. She has contributed to developing distributed computing versions of urban growth models and transfer learning approaches for environmental applications.

Awards:

• Distinguished Service Award, Association of American Geographers (2024)
