Academic Interests

Dr. Frazier is interested in teaching students to utilize the power of Geographic Information Science and Remote Sensing to convey information about landscapes, patterns and processes through maps and visualizations. Dr. Frazier’s research focuses on leveraging GIS and Remote Sensing to learn more about ecosystems, and specifically forests after wildfire. Dr. Frazier is certainly excited by new applications of GIS and Remote Sensing as well as a good map.
