Michael Mann is an Associate Professor of Geography at George Washington University, specializing in agriculture, land use, and GIS. He holds a PhD and MA in Earth & Environment from Boston University, and a BA in Economics from the College of Wooster. Dr. Mann's research, funded by various grants, focuses on fire probability modeling, the ecology of MERS-CoV, and the use of remote sensing for agricultural and urban sustainability. His publications explore the integration of geospatial data and machine learning in environmental studies, and is the author of pygis.io, an open access textbook on python for geospatial analysis in python.
Dr. Mann is an affiliated faculty member of the Global Food Institute at GW.
