Ferdouz Cochran received her doctorate in Geography from the University of Kansas in May 2015. Her research focuses on climate change, the carbon and water cycles, and sustainability indicators in agroecosystems, forests, grasslands, and urban systems in the US and Brazil. She uses satellite and surface-based remote sensing and reanalysis data to explore human-environment and biosphere-atmosphere interactions related to land use/cover change and to investigate the influences of land management on food security given human-caused climate change. She is particularly interested in working at the intersection of traditional local knowledge and Western science to facilitate climate change mitigation and adaptation, especially in the Brazilian Amazon. As a National Science Foundation fellow in the Climate Change, Humans, and Nature in the Global Environment (C-CHANGE) program, she has conducted transdisciplinary fieldwork in Greenland, Kansas, Mexico, and Brazil. Ferdouz grew up in the Brazilian Amazon before settling in the tallgrass prairies of Kansas. She previously worked for the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) and the Environmental Research Studies Summer Institute (HERS) at Haskell Indian Nations University.
