معرفی
Mark Mulligan is a Professor of Physical and Environmental Geography at King's College London, specializing in environmental dynamics. His research focuses on modeling land surface and ecological impacts of environmental change, particularly in arid and tropical regions. Key interests include desertification, hydrological processes, tropical montane cloud forests, and decision-support tools for environmental policy. He leads projects like LANDING (Land Use Planning) and the Global Dam Watch database, emphasizing transboundary catchment management and climate adaptation.
Collaborations span institutions such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison (SPARC atmospheric research) and international bodies like CIAT. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly through ecosystem services assessment and biodiversity conservation. Recent projects address governance of hydroclimatic extremes in South Asia and Europe, and the integration of environmental intelligence for sustainable land use.
- Research Interests: Environmental change, tropical forests, biodiversity, hydrological modeling, remote sensing (including radar).
- Key Regions: Colombia, Ecuador, Philippines, Spain, Italy, Greece, North Africa.
- Tools Developed: Global Dam Watch database, SPARC portable atmospheric observation systems.
- Grants & Projects: 50+ projects including NERC-funded environmental intelligence research and EU H2020ReSET (hydrological modeling).
Publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, blending field data with policy implications. His work bridges academic research with real-world applications, such as urban pedestrianization impacts and nature-based flood mitigation strategies.
