Seniorđ
Top SchoolTimothy Norris is a librarian-professor and data curator with over two decades of experience merging cartography, GIS, and participatory field methods to support environmental science and community-based resource management. Based in Miami, he has advanced from CLIR postdoc to tenured faculty at the University of Miami while running Nawi Maps, a long-standing sole proprietorship that offers pro-bono cartographic services to underserved communities. His PhD research in the Peruvian Andes blends human and physical geography with participatory mapping, reflecting a practical focus on how mining, conservation, tourism, and local livelihoods intersect. Known for crafting maps and visualizations that prioritize both aesthetic clarity and ethical use of data, he bridges academic research, grassroots NGOs, and small-business practice. An unexpected facet of his work is a decades-old cafe in Huaraz, Peru that doubles as a cultural hub and book exchange, underscoring his commitment to place-based networks and knowledge sharing.
