| Dr. Danielle Marceau is professor in the Department of Geomatics Engineering at the University of Calgary and holds a Schulich Research Chair in GIS and Environmental Modelling. Her research program focuses on developing spatial simulation models, namely cellular automata (CA) and agent-based models (ABMs) to study the dynamics and interactions of natural and human systems. These models are integrated with Geomatics technologies to create intelligent computer-based information systems to guide decision making in environmental resource management. She applies her research in domains that are of particular relevance in Alberta and elsewhere in Canada: water and energy, land use and spatial planning, wildlife-human interactions, and disease propagation. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of her research, she works with scientists in different disciplines in collaboration with government agencies, industries, and non-for-profit organizations. | |
