On this episode of Roots of Research, Dr. Meimei Lin, Associate Professor of Geography in the School of Earth, Environment and Sustainability, (College of Science and Mathematics) joins us to explore how spatial thinking, community engagement, and geospatial technology reveal the hidden stories within our landscapes.
Dr. Lin reflects on her academic journey from China to Georgia, her research on how climate risk is reshaping mortgage approval rates, and her collaborative work in Savannah, mapping "social infrastructure" to ensure urban growth is equitable for all. It’s an insightful look at how maps do more than show where things are—they explain why our communities thrive or face challenges.
