Jason A Tullis

Jason A Tullis serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of Geosciences within the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas. He maintains dual affiliations with the Arkansas Center for Space and Planetary Sciences (17 years) and the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (20 years), reflecting his deep integration into the university's research ecosystem.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Geography, University of South Carolina
• M.S. in Geography, University of South Carolina
• B.S. in Geography, Brigham Young University

Dr. Tullis specializes in Geographic Information Science (GIScience) and remote sensing applications for ecosystem services management, with distinctive emphasis on ethical provenance frameworks in spatial problem-solving. His work bridges theoretical geospatial methodologies with practical environmental decision support systems, particularly through unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and multiuser enterprise GIS architectures.

He contributes significantly to international scientific initiatives as a lead author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and Associate Editor of GIScience and Remote Sensing. His operational impact extends to disaster response through the International Charter Space and Major Disasters program and planetary science via NASA's Mars data analysis initiatives.

Dr. Tullis directs research activities within the Arkansas Center for Space and Planetary Sciences and the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies, where his teams develop cutting-edge geospatial solutions for terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments. His current instructional focus includes Geospatial UAS operations and advanced remote sensing applications.
