Land Use, Population, & Environment

Dr. Emilio Moran's use of advanced technology—such as remote sensing and geographic information systems, or GIS—to integrate the social and physical sciences while studying that relationship has been groundbreaking. His work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Social Science Research Council.

Emilio is a member of NSF’s Advisory Committee for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences. He also serves on the editorial board of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and on two National Research Council committees. He holds a doctoral degree in social anthropology, a master’s degree in Latin American history from the University of Florida, and a bachelor’s degree in Spanish-American literature from Spring Hill College.
