Dr. Qingmin Meng studies human environment interaction with focuses on complex relationship among landscape, physical environment, natural resources, and human activities. His research integrates mathematics and statistics into quantitative geospatial analysis and modeling with vector, raster, and time series datasets. Currently, he focuses on geospatial big data exploration including massive remote sensing data integration and enhancement, ecological system classification and assessment, and the complicated environmental, ecological, and social interactions in Gulf coastal ecosystems, hydraulic fracturing, and West Nile Virus.
