FACULTY
Research and Interests:
Dr. Badurek's areas of expertise are the development of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial databases, particularly for social science applications. His most recent research focuses on developing analytical tools for examining patterns of change in crime in São Paulo, Brazil. Previously, he worked on applied interdisciplinary GIS projects involving regional community policing in Buffalo and a USAID project on developing land information systems and spatial data infrastructure in Guatemala. He is also interested in developing tools to assist other social and environmental scientists with using and integrating spatial information technologies.
Courses:
Intro to GIS, GIS Management, GIS for Social and Environmental Sciences, Physical Geography, World Regional Geography, Cartographic Design and Analysis, Advanced Honors Seminar: Geographic Thought and Methods.
