Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Brad G. Peter is an Assistant Professor of Geosciences at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where he leads the Environmental GIS & Cartography Lab (EGCL). His research focuses on the intersection of ecological niche and agricultural system decisions, transforming empirical data into actionable knowledge through spatial analytics and digital cartography. Dr. Peter's work investigates global agricultural land suitability, the geographic scaling of climate-smart crop varieties, and sustainable and nutritional farm systems. He also studies the application of satellite and sUAS (small unmanned aircraft systems) for multi-scale precision agriculture.

His research group comprises geographers, remote sensing scientists, agronomists, and cartographers, with collaborations extending to hydrologists, entomologists, and plant physiologists. Current research areas include sustainable agricultural systems in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. 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 has an h-index of 17 with over 104 publications and 895 citations.
