Jenny Bueno – a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Geography – was awarded a Margaret A. Davidson fellowship from the National Ocean and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) for her accomplishments in marine research.

The Margaret A. Davidson Graduate Fellowship is a two-year program that allows graduate students to conduct research with one of the 30 NOAA coastal reserves. The fellowship is named for Margaret A. Davidson, an innovator in coastal management.

Bueno began her FSU career by entering the Master’s in Geography program. While in the graduate program, she had the opportunity to study intertidal oyster reefs in Apalachicola Bay, Florida. This project sparked an interest in research, and in 2022 she applied for the Davidson Fellowship and entered the Geography Ph.D. program at FSU.

Every summer, up to 600 people in Miami-Dade County die from extreme heat. Florida State University Associate Professor Chris Uejio, Ph.D., is helping to keep people safe by identifying the places in the county that are most vulnerable to this natural disaster.

Uejio and NASA’s Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team (HAQAST) used data from NASA’s Aqua satellite to measure land surface temperatures between May and September from 2003 to 2021. The research team combined that data with census records and health data to create maps that show which communities were most affected by heat.

Congratulations to FSU Geography Faculty Member Tyler McCreary, Ph.D., for publishing a new book: Indigenous Legalities, Pipeline Viscosities: Colonial Extractivism and Wet’suwet’en Resistance.

Dr. McCreary’s book uses historical context and community-engaged research to explain the ongoing conflict between the Wet’suwet’en nation and entities seeking to develop pipelines, including governments and corporations. This relates to broader issues of colonialism, territory, and jurisdiction.

“[Indigenous Legalities, Pipeline Viscosities is] an amazing book built upon extensive community-engaged research,” said John Ridsdale, Na’Moks Hereditary Chief of the Tsayu Clan of the Wet’suwet’en Nation.

This book is available through University of Alberta Press:

Researchers from FSU’s Department of Geography and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering published “Understanding Changes in Spatial Accessibility to Restaurants During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Disentangling Closures, Inequity, Neighborhood, and Transportation Mode” in the journal Geographical Analysis, which examines how restaurant closures during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted communities.

The authors compared the number of restaurants accessible within a specified travel time before the pandemic (2019) and during the pandemic (2021). They found that the spatial patterns of restaurant closures correlated with transportation modes: restaurants that were accessible by walking were impacted more in urban areas and restaurants that had mostly driving customers were affected more in suburban areas by the pandemic.

FSU Researchers – Mark Horner, Ph.D., Professor of Geography; Michael Duncan, Ph.D.; Professor of Urban and Regional Planning; and Dennis J. Smith, Planner-in-Residence for Urban and Regional Planning – and colleagues co-authored “Ridership Dynamics and Characteristics of Potential Riders of a Transit System: The SunRail of Central Florida,” to investigate the passenger flows among SunRail stations at different periods and the socio-demographic factors that potentially influence SunRail ridership.

The findings indicate that a majority of trips on the SunRail system occurred during AM peak and PM peak periods, between population centers (suburban and exurban areas) and business zones (urban and urban core areas).

The authors’ article provides data about where potential passengers travel from and where they go, which can help to advertise SunRail’s services and promote ridership as well as determine stations that might need enhancements. This research also identifies the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of residents around each SunRail station through park-and-ride and walk-and-ride catchment areas, which serve urban and transport planners in developing strategies to influence ridership based on the passenger flows and unique characteristics of the station areas.
