The GRAM project brings together faculty from CSULB Department of Geography, CSULB Department of Anthropology, University of Hawai’i and the National Tropical Botanical Garden.

Instructors

Professor Christopher Lee, Geography, CSULB

Professor Lee’s resaerch interests broadly apply to remote sensing, physical geography, and applications of geospatial techniques to core problems, such as emergency management, geospatial workforce development, landscape and terrain analysis, and national intelligence.

Professor Carl Lipo, Anthropology, CSULB

Dr. Lipo’s research focuses on the use of evolutionary theory to generate scientific explanations about human cultural change in the archaeological record. His recent studies include the development of theoretical models and the construction of methods for studying patterns of change caused by cultural transmission and the process of natural selection in cultural systems. He also researchers methods in remote sensing to efficiently and non-destructively study the record. This work includes the use of aerial imagery, satellite imagery, magnetometry, resistivity, conductivity, thermal imagery and ground penetrating radar.
