Gaurav Arora received his Ph.D. in Economics at Iowa State University in January, 2017. As part of his Ph.D. dissertation work, he combined applied economics models with remote sensing tools to study the impacts of local infrastructure, climate change and conservation policy on regional land use changes for Agroecosystems. He also designed and implemented a satellite image-processing algorithm to characterize land use change using historical Landsat sensor data. He was awarded James R. Prescott scholarship in 2016 for outstanding creativity in research, and Earl O.
