Dr. Miles Logsdon is a Research Assistant Professor in the School of

Oceanography at the University of Washington. His research and teaching

interests are focused on the use of GIS and Remote Sensing in the spatial

analysis of physical earth system processes. He is primarily involved in

interdisciplinary and collaborative research activities that focus on an

integrated approach to the use of earth system data and spatially explicit

process models.

Dr. Logsdon is the director of the Spatial Analysis Laboratory for the

College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences and the University of Washington. He

serves as the lead investigator on the development of the "physical

template" for Puget Sound, an element of the Puget Sound Regional Synthesis

Modeling project (PRISM) at the University of Washington, and is the

director of the university-funded program for the "Coordinated Curriculum in

GIS, Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis for Earth Sciences and Natural

Resource Planning." Other current research activities include a NASA

application grant for the "Strategic and Practical Use of Remote Sensing in

Emergency Management (SPURS-EM)." In addition Dr. Logsdon currently

teaches two courses in the application of spatial information technologies

and spatial data analysis. These courses are cross-listed and joint credit

is awarded between four academic units.
