Michael Mann

Michael Mann, assistant professor of geography, specializes in geography based climate research, wildfires, spatial modeling, econometrics and remote sensing. His research focuses on the application of spatial data and econometric techniques to forecasting of human/natural systems interactions. Most notably, Mann has created a model that can forecast the likelihood of wildfires throughout California from now until the year 2050 based on climate variations, indicators of tree and plant growth, population density and potential ignition sources.
