Karen Seto is a center fellow at FSI and an assistant professor in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Stanford University.
Her research focuses on the impacts of anthropogenic activity on spatio-temporal patterns of land use and land cover change. She uses a combination of remote sensing, socioeconomic data, and field surveys to monitor and model landscape dynamics. Her current research efforts include analyzing the effects of policy reforms on urbanization and agricultural expansion in China and Vietnam. She is the Remote Sensing Thematic Leader for the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) Commission on Ecosystem Management, and is a recipient of the NASA New Investigator Program in Earth Science Award and the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award.
