Dear all, 

It is my pleasure to announce that Adam Alsamadisi will defend his PhD dissertation this Friday, May 8, 2020, at 10:30 am over Zoom.

The title of his dissertation is “The Nexus of Biogeography and GIScience: Utilizing Emerging Big Data Sources and Multiscale Analysis for Species Distribution Models.” 

Adam’s committee consists of Drs. Sally Horn, Qiusheng Wu, Mona Papes (EEB), and myself as chair/major professor. 

The defense/dissertation oral examination will begin with Adam giving a presentation/summary discussion of the dissertation followed by a few minutes of questions and/or

comments from the public in attendance. We then move into a committee-only meeting in which Adam completes his defense.

 If you are interested in attending Adam’s dissertation presentation and general Q&A, please use the Zoom link below (using the password provided-geography). Note that the event will start sharply at 10:30 am and  I would ask that you join the Zoom meeting in time to avoid causing distraction.
