Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Nost is an Associate Professor of Geography, Environment and Geomatics at the University of Guelph who studies how emerging sensor networks and data-driven algorithms reshape environmental governance. With over a decade of academic experience and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he examines the human dimensions of data systems—design, use, maintenance, and societal effects—especially around food security, climate adaptation, and ecosystem services. His research bridges political ecology and practical experimentation, aiming to steer data technologies toward more just and equitable policy outcomes and is supported by SSHRC funding. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses, including mapping and conservation leadership, and coordinates work with the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative to analyze public socio-environmental data and media portrayals of climate issues. Based in Guelph, Ontario, he combines rigorous empirical work with community-engaged data analysis, bringing a geographer’s attention to how metrics and market forces shape environmental choices.
