معرفی
Yue Dou is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability (CSIS) within Michigan State University. Her work focuses on the complex dynamics of telecoupled human and natural systems, with a particular emphasis on sustainability and agent-based modeling.
Her educational background includes:
- Bachelor's degree from Wuhan University (2004-2008)
- Master's degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2008-2011)
- Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo (2011-2016)
Dr. Dou's research interests center on coupled human-natural systems, leveraging Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) for land use modeling. She specializes in agent-based models (ABM) and the CLUE-S model to study sustainability challenges. Her work often addresses telecoupling phenomena, such as the soybean trade between Brazil and China, and the resilience of vulnerable communities like the Caboclo in the Brazilian Amazon delta.
Her recent publications reveal a strong trend in applying systems science to global sustainability issues, particularly in forest conservation, biodiversity, and smallholder agriculture. She integrates telecoupling and metacoupling frameworks to analyze complex interactions across distant systems, with a focus on environmental and agricultural outcomes.
Dr. Dou has been involved in an NSF-funded project exploring telecoupled human and natural systems. Additionally, she has lectured on Principles of GIS Science at the University of Waterloo, contributing to undergraduate education in geospatial sciences.
She is currently constructing an agent-based model to represent the soybean trade between Brazil and China, which serves as a tool for understanding telecoupling interactions and their sustainability impacts. Her work is conducted within the collaborative environment of the Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability.
