Gabriel Granco

The Granco Research Lab is now a PolyX - a signature Polytechnic eXperience at Cal Poly Pomana.

 

The Sustainability and Land Change Research Lab offers real-world research experience to CPP students interested in studying environmental issues and advancing their studies in human-environment interactions and GIS. The Research Lab goal is committed to bringing up new knowledge that will help stakeholders (i.e., society, government, industry, among others) understand, plan, and build a world that is fair, equitable, and sustainable. The group will achieve this goal by producing good science - science that is open, inclusive, and impactful to society. The group will apply geographical methods, GIS, and GIScience, to generate and communicate new knowledge from existing dataset (or from new dataset that we collected) leading to insights and new ways of human-environment interactions. The Research Lab exists as a PolyX because science is a collaborative effort as is a polytechnic experience, and science is stronger when many minds are tackling the same issue.

 

Students in the lab have been successful in applying and receiving scholarships, fellowships, graduate school, and jobs!
