Alex
de Sherbinin is a Senior Staff Associate for Research at the Center for
International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), an environmental data and
analysis center within The Earth
Institute at Columbia University specializing in the human aspects of
global environmental change. He serves as deputy manager of the NASA-funded
Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC), and also serves as
co-Coordinator of the Population-Environment Research Network (PERN), a
global network of 1,800 social and natural scientists researching
population-environment relationships that is sponsored by the International
Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP)
and the International Human Dimensions Programme on
Global Environmental Change (IHDP). He is
also chair of the CODATA
Global Roads Data Development Task Group, and a co-author of the Environmental
Performance Index (EPI).
Mr.
de Sherbinin is a geographer whose research interests focus on the human
aspects of environmental change at local, national and global scales. He has
written peer-reviewed articles, chapters, and reports addressing population
dynamics and the environment; urban climate vulnerability and sustainability;
climate change and migration; environmental indicators; consumption-environment
linkages; environment and security; land-use and land-cover change; remote
sensing applications for environmental treaties; social science applications of
remote sensing; and community-based natural resource management.
Prior
to joining CIESIN, Mr. de Sherbinin served as a USAID-funded
Population-Environment Fellow with the Social Policy Program of International
Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN,
Gland, Switzerland), and a Population Geographer at the Population Reference
Bureau (PRB, Washington, DC). From 1984-1986
he served as an agricultural extension agent with the U.S. Peace Corps in
Mauritania, West Africa.
He
has profiles on ResearchGate and LinkedIn, and
blog postings through the Earth Institute’s State of the
Planet blog.
