About

Kim is a geographer who applies GIS to a range of issues such as climate change and social justice. Her main research program combines fieldwork and GIS to examine the influence of human-environment interactions and global environmental change on spatiotemporal distributions of insular plant species. Archipelagoes studied by her research team include islands in the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean (Panama). Dr. Diver has over twenty years of university teaching experience prior to joining the University of Michigan.
