About

Asif is a human-environment scientist working at the nexus of climate change impacts and human-environment dynamics. He received his PhD from the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University in 2019. His specific research interests include climate adaptation, hazard vulnerability, disaster management, environmental governance, and land cover change. He uses a variety of methods in his research, such as GIS, remote sensing, social network analysis, statistical modeling, qualitative data analysis (e.g. content analysis, case study analysis, grounded theory), social surveys, systematic literature review etc. He collaborated with researchers from different backgrounds- political ecologists, geospatial scientists, geographers, civil engineers, sustainability scientists, and sociologists. Besides academic life, Asif enjoys traveling to new places and playing soccer.
