Maggi Kelly
Dr. Maggi Kelly is Professor and Cooperative Extension Specialist based at UC Berkeley. Her lab's motto is "mapping for a changing California", and she uses a range of techniques - remote sensing, object-based image analysis, geospatial modeling, lidar analysis, participatory webGIS and field methods - to answer applied questions about how and why California landscapes are changing, and what that change means for those who live on and manage our lands. She primarily works in California: on wetland, forest, and urban landscapes. The geo-informatics field is evolving quickly, and she actively works to build a community interested in applied geospatial research and outreach locally at UC Berkeley and across the state. She is Faculty Director of the UCB Geospatial Innovation Facility (GIF) and Director of UC's ANR Statewide Program in Informatics and Geographic Information Systems (IGIS), both of which are dedicated to bringing cutting-edge mapping technology, training, and research support to the ANR network, students, staff, faculty, and the public.
