The articles submitted serve as a testament to Chapman University\u2019s growing research profile. The work involved current Chapman University faculty and students, alongside researchers at institutions such as NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of New Hampshire, and the Universidad de Chile.<\/p>\n<p>The committee selected Dr. Shenyue Jia\u2019s article \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/article\/10.1088\/1748-9326\/ab8847\">Patterns of population displacement during mega-fires in California detected using Facebook Disaster Maps<\/a>\u201d as the winner of this year\u2019s Outstanding Research Publication Award. The article, published in the leading journal <em>Environmental Research Letters<\/em>, demonstrates the utility of real-time data for responding to humanitarian crises such as those associated with disasters.<\/p>\n<p>One reviewer cited the article\u2019s \u201cnovel data application to a global problem,\u201d and another similarly pointed to its interdisciplinary use of social media analysis in the areas of climate change and disaster planning.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jia is a research fellow with Chapman\u2019s Institute for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/scst\/research\/centers-of-excellence\/echo\/index.aspx\">Earth, Computing, Human and Observing<\/a>. The article is co-authored with Seung Hee Kim, Son Nghiem, Paul Doherty and Menas Kafatos.<\/p>\n<p>The cash award is sponsored by postdoctoral alumni of the Grand Challenges Initiative. The review committee this year was chaired by Dr. Doug Dechow, in collaboration with Drs. Brenna Gormally and Shana Welles.<\/p>\n<p>Our congratulations to Dr. Jia!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time Data for Responding to Disasters &#8211; Award Honors Postdoctoral Research in Science and Engineering<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3529,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-environment-and-sustainability","category-grand-challenges-initiative"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
