Samuel Adu-Prah

Samuel Adu-Prah is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental and Geosciences at Sam Houston State University, part of the College of Science & Engineering Technology. His research focuses on GIScience, environmental modeling, spatial epidemiology, and remote sensing applications. He investigates spatiotemporal data mining in public health, environmental exposure, and land-use change, alongside remote sensing techniques for land-use analysis. His work emphasizes the physical environment's role in malaria prevalence in Sub-Saharan Africa and climate variability impacts.

Dr. Adu-Prah teaches courses such as GIS in Public Health, Digital Image Processing, and Applied GIS. He actively engages students across disciplines in spatial analysis projects and has published widely on topics like health service access inequities, climate change effects, and social vulnerability assessments. His recent research highlights include spatiotemporal patterns of obesity in the U.S. and land-use dynamics in East Africa's Kagera River Basin.

Despite no explicitly listed awards, his contributions to geospatial research are evident through his prolific publication record in applied geospatial journals. He collaborates on projects addressing environmental justice, disaster risk, and urban segregation, reflecting a commitment to interdisciplinary problem-solving.
