Last week I was able to visit my undergraduate alma mater for the first time since I graduated. I was invited to the Bond Symposium to give a talk, 'It's a big world out there: How my SUNY Cortland experience helped carve a path from being a first-generation college student to a globally engaged scholar', as an alum. This was an incredible experience to reflect on my work and my career trajectory. I also was able to meet with previous professors that impacted me and met with

My colleague and collaborator Grayson Morgan presented our research poster, titled 'Drones in Geography Classrooms: Advantages and Challenges', at the National Council for Geographic Education Annual Conference in Omaha. This work covered partial results from a recent publication in The Professional Geographer about drone curriculum in geography higher education.

I co-organized (with colleagues Son Nghiem and Tom Pingel) two sessions for #AGU25 in New Orleans on Remote Sensing of Urban Change (description below with links). Looking forward to bringing together remote sensing researchers focused on urban issues from a variety of angles and using a slew of different data sources and methods. I'll be presenting a poster myself on spaceborne lidar for 3D building height estimation as well as chairing the oral session. Hope to see you in N

I have been fortunate to work with so many wonderful and talented students over the years. This academic year I advised three master's students to completion of their degrees. I an incredibly proud of the work of these students and look forward to continue working with them to get their research results published in peer-reviewed journals. Great work Farhan, Shibbir, and Sharmin! Congratulations and best of luck with your future endeavors. Sharmin Akter, Thesis: Remotely Sens

I have taken on the duties of Graduate Director in the Department of Geography at Binghamton. I am excited to support our graduate students as they work through their program and conduct their research. If you have any undergraduate students interested in pursuing a master's in geography, please send them my way! We have a great program with a long history (strengths across geography but urban geography and GIScience remain thematic pillars of the program). https://www.bingha

After a wonderful 6-months abroad as a Fulbright Fellow/Scholar at the University of Galway in Ireland, I have returned home to Binghamton. I feel incredibly lucky to have spent time in Galway with amazing colleagues and being immersed in Irish life for this time. I cannot recommend enough the Fulbright program, which offers life changing experiences to students and faculty alike. Look into it and apply!
