Biography
John Rogan joined the faculty as Assistant Professor in Fall 2003. Rogan received his Ph.D. (Geography) degree from the joint doctoral program at San Diego State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he was funded by a research grant from NASA's Land Cover and Land Use Change Program. He received M.A. and B.A. degrees (Geography) from the University of Arizona.
Rogan is currently working on two funded research projects--monitoring landscape changes in southeastern Arizona in relation to fire frequency and climate (U.S. Forest Service), and mapping emerald ash borer effects using hyperspectral imagery in the greater Detroit region (Clark Labs). Rogan is a geographer specializing in landscape ecology, fire ecology and GIScience. Recent research projects have involved monitoring land cover change in California using remote sensing data, and mapping wildfire burn severity in south California and southeastern Arizona.
Rogan is affiliated with Clark University's HERO project and George Perkins Marsh Institute. He is also the director of the GIScience M.A. Program.
