OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Brad G. Peter, Assistant Professor of Geosciences at the University of Arkansas, directs the Environmental GIS & Cartography Lab (EGCL). His research focuses on environmental remote sensing, specifically examining the interplay between ecological niches and agricultural decision-making. Dr. Peter employs spatial analytics and digital cartography to translate empirical data into practical knowledge. His work investigates global agricultural land suitability, the scaling of climate-smart crop varieties, sustainable and nutritional farming systems, and the use of satellite and sUAS (small unmanned aerial systems) for multi-scale precision agriculture.

His laboratory group comprises experts in geosciences, remote sensing, agronomy, and cartography, with collaborations extending to hydrologists, entomologists, and plant physiologists. This interdisciplinary approach supports research on sustainable agricultural systems, with a particular emphasis on Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Dr. Peter's published work includes studies on flood extent monitoring, urban flood susceptibility mapping, sensitivity of remote sensing floodwater depth calculations, urbanization and environmental changes, sustainable intensification in Malawi, and the use of vegetation indices for crop chlorophyll content assessment. He also studies climate extremes resilience and ecological distribution modeling for pests.

Dr. Peter holds a Ph.D. in Geography from Michigan State University and a BA in Geography from the University of Texas at Austin. He previously served as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Geography at the University of Alabama. His scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 16 and over 109 publications, with more than 862 citations.
