Robbyn J.F. Abbitt
I am the new GIS Coordinator for the Department of Geography. I came to Miami after working in Missouri for five years for a non-profit GIS cooperative that focused on using GIS to assist with natural resource management and conservation within the state of Missouri as well as the midwest region.
My primary research interests are using GIS to facilitate with natural resource conservation and local and regional land-use planning.
