Hannah Herrero

Dr. Hannah V. Herrero is a faculty member in the Department of Geography & Sustainability at the University of Tennessee. Her research interests are based on the study of human-environment interactions within the field of Land Change Science throuh the use of remote sensing and GeoAI technologies. All of her research is undertaken with highly interdisciplinary research teams, which involve both physical and social scientists. Within such interdisciplinary teams, her particular strengths lie in the remote sensing of vegetation dynamics and linkages to climate; land use and land cover change; people and parks; and the implications of scale and scaling in remote sensing and modeling analyses. Her work of understanding environmental change has a particular concentration on conservation of protected areas, as well as savanna science. While her work is applicable globally, she has a strong regional focus on southern Africa.
