Haroon Stephen, Ph.D (he/him/his)

Professor
University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Haroon Stephen is a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He is involved in interdisciplinary research of climate change impact and hydrology with specific emphasis on applications of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) with focus on improving urban quality of life. Stephen has been involved in several federal- and state-sponsored research projects involving research and applications of geospatial data. In these projects, he has worked with the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Forest Service, City of Las Vegas, Nevada Division of Forestry, Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, and Nevada Department of Transportation. Currently, he is UNLV lead CoPI of a $20 million NSF project titled "Harnessing the Data Revolution for Fire Science.” Stephen's ongoing research interests include applications of remote sensing and GIS technologies to wildfires; water resource mapping; and natural and urban climate study.
