John Lowry is a Senior Lecturer in Geospatial Science at Oregon State University, specializing in the application of geospatial technologies to environmental planning, disaster management, and educational pedagogy. His work bridges academic research with practical solutions, particularly in tropical island contexts such as Fiji and New Zealand.
- Expertise: GIS for environmental vulnerability assessment, geospatial education frameworks, and indigenous knowledge systems
- Key Projects: Fiji-based studies on disaster evacuation effectiveness, marine resource management, and Fijian dialect mapping
- Teaching Focus: Innovations in ArcGIS StoryMap pedagogy across educational levels
Research interests span from spatial epidemiology of tropical diseases (e.g., leptospirosis) to the ecological impacts of invasive species. Recent work emphasizes geodesign approaches for multifunctional landscapes and geospatial curriculum development in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Publications highlight methodological advancements in spatial analysis techniques, including geographically weighted regression and Bayesian networks for environmental risk modeling. His work frequently integrates socio-environmental data to address complex challenges in both developed and developing regions.
