Ryan Nagelkirk, PhD CandidateRyan received B.S. degrees in Kinesiology and Environmental Geosciences from Michigan State University in 2007 and 2012, respectively. Following his first degree, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) in Depoe Bay, Oregon. In 2010, Ryan came back to school to study climate change and its effects on the planet, especially wildlife. Ryan’s research focuses on detecting and predicting impacts of climate change and land use / land cover change on wildlife habitats in Serengeti National park through the use of remote sensing and modeling. In his spare time, Ryan enjoys cycling (both riding and building bikes), photography, and reading.

Gloria Desanker, MS Student (co-advised with Andy Finley)Gloria received her B.S. degree in Environmental Science from the University of Virginia in 2015. She is very interested in working with spatial data and remote sensing techniques. In the past, she has worked with LiDAR data, interned for an international NGO and a research institute using GIS products to analyze terrestrial ecosystems. Gloria’s research at MSU focuses on looking at landscape scale phenology in East Africa using Landsat 8 imagery. After graduating, she hopes to work for an NGO or non-profit organization which will allow her to utilize her GIS skills and travel. Gloria is an amateur photographer and hopes to visit every country in the world.
