Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCascade Tuholske is an Assistant Professor of Human-Environment Geography with eight years of research experience at the intersection of climate change and urbanization, currently based at Montana State University. He develops custom geospatial algorithms and machine learning methods to measure global urban population exposure to extreme heat, map urban growth across Africa, and track environmental change from mangrove deforestation to wastewater impacts on coasts. His work blends large-scale satellite analytics with on-the-ground case studies—recent projects include food security systems in sub-Saharan cities and epidemic tracking in Roatán, Honduras. Trained at UC Santa Barbara (PhD) and The George Washington University, he pairs rigorous academic scholarship with applied policy experience from roles at Columbia’s Earth Institute and FAO. Unusually for an urban geographer, he also brings grassroots organizing and international teaching experience from Fulbright and ACLU roles, informing a pragmatic, interdisciplinary approach to human-environment problems.
