Jochen Albrecht is a Professor of Computational and Theoretical Geography in the Department of Geography at Hunter College, City University of New York. He also serves as Doctoral Faculty in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Program at The Graduate Center, CUNY. Previously, he held academic positions at the University of Maryland, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His academic journey reflects a strong commitment to advancing geographic information science through both teaching and research. Albrecht earned his PhD in GIScience from the University of Vechta, Germany in 1995, following an MSc (1986) and BSc (1983) in Geography from the University of Hamburg. His educational background provided the foundation for his interdisciplinary approach that bridges human and environmental geography with computational methods. His research focuses on three main areas: spatial regression modeling of drivers of global greenhouse gas emissions, neighborhood-level behavioral modeling of environmental stressors in New York City, and GIS program management. Albrecht takes a holistic geographical perspective that rejects the traditional separation between Human Geography and Environmental/Geological Sciences. His work on GHG emissions examines spatially and path-dependent causes to identify regionally varying factors that can inform effective policy measures. The NYC stressor modeling investigates how locally differing exposure to social, environmental, economic and structural stressors explains varying degrees of aberrant behaviors. His publication record shows a consistent focus on geospatial analysis methods, urban environmental impacts, and theoretical GIS development. The most recent works demonstrate increasing attention to urban greenhouse gas emissions across global contexts (Europe, Asia, India), while maintaining his foundational interest in GIS theory and methodology. His research combines sophisticated spatial analysis with practical applications for urban policy and environmental management. 2015 Hunter College Assessment Fellow 2008 Barbara Hirsch URISA Service Award 2001 Intergraph UCGIS Young Scholars Award 1996 NSF/ESF International Young Scholar in Geographic Information Albrecht has advised numerous PhD and Master's students, with thesis topics ranging from transportation analysis to environmental modeling. His research has been supported by significant grants including NSF funding for geospatial technology education, NYC Department of Sanitation projects, and transportation research funded by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council. He has established himself as a leader in both academic geography and professional GIS communities through his editorial work, professional service, and development of standards for GIS management.
