David E. Tenenbaum, Ph.D.

(UNC-Chapel Hill, 2005)

Lecturer
Director, Geospatial Technology Program



Dr. Tenenbaum's research interests are in geographic information science and landscape hydroecology. His work focuses on understanding the distribution of moisture patterns in human-impacted landscapes, and makes use of digital terrain analysis, remote sensing of moisture conditions as a function of vegetation response, and spatially-distributed models of hydroecological processes. Dr. Tenenbaum teaches courses primarily in geographic information science and directs the Department's Certificate Program in Geospatial Technology.
