Matthew Marcus is an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Geographic Information System Technology (GIST) program at the University of Arizona. His work focuses on environmental applications of GIS, particularly in tropical ecosystems such as Amazonian palm swamps. He investigates issues like peatland degradation, deforestation, carbon emissions, and sustainable resource management through mixed-methods and remote sensing approaches. His research spans global-to-local scales, combining ecological data analysis with policy-relevant insights.
Dr. Marcus's contributions include developing automated time-series mapping techniques and spatial models to quantify land use changes. His recent publications emphasize the intersection of social-ecological systems and conservation strategies in the Peruvian Amazon. He is affiliated with the ENR2 Building, collaborating on projects that bridge GIS technology with environmental monitoring and policy.
While no specific grants or advising roles are listed, his academic contributions reflect a commitment to advancing applied GIS solutions for environmental challenges. His work underscores the importance of integrating technical tools with socio-environmental research to address climate change and ecosystem preservation.
