Eric Lambin : George and Setsuko Ishiyama Provostial Professor
Eric Lambin, a specialist in land-use change, just joined us. Trained as a geographer, Eric Lambin is involved in several projects on human-environment interactions in various tropical regions. In his current research, he combines remote sensing, socio-economic data, and spatial models to better understand land use transitions – the shift from deforestation or land degradation to reforestation or land sparing for nature. He conducts a comparative analysis of several countries (Vietnam, Bhutan, Ecuador, Cameroon, Burkina Faso…) that follow various pathways of land use transitions. He is also involved in interdisciplinary research on the impact of land change on emerging vector-borne diseases. With colleagues at Stanford, he develops a new Spatial Analysis Centre, a cutting-edge facility for geospatial analysis.
