Senior🎓
Top SchoolClaus Rinner is a Professor of Geographic Information Science with over a decade of academic leadership at Ryerson University, where he directs the undergraduate Geographic Analysis program and initiated the interdisciplinary RECOVER19 research consortium on pandemic response. He specializes in map-centred geographic visualization, multi-criteria decision analysis, and the novel concept of "argumentation maps" to support participatory planning and spatial decision-making in public health and neighbourhood wellbeing. His work explores practical decision-support using open geospatial data, location-based services, and even 3D printing, blending rigorous research with applied tools for real-world problems. Trained in applied systems science and with a PhD in geography, he combines technical depth with program leadership experience across graduate program direction and department chair roles. An engaged communicator, he maintains a broad public portfolio and shifted much of his research focus to transparent, evidence-informed pandemic policy since 2020.
