Dr. Afsheen Sadaf is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the UMSL Geospatial Collaborative at University of Missouri–St. Louis. Her research integrates geospatial technologies, environmental planning, and data-driven decision-making to address complex sustainability and resilience challenges. Her expertise spans sustainability and environmental planning, coastal & watershed resilience, climate adaptation, urban planning, and the interactions between health and the built environment. Dr. Sadaf employs a diverse set of methodological approaches, including geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), GeoAI, environmental assessment, ecological and coastal modeling, spatial analysis, statistical modeling, and qualitative research methods. Her work focuses on advancing sustainable development and climate resilience through innovative geospatial applications that support evidence-based planning and policy. Her research has contributed to understanding coastal and wetland resilience, environmental justice, climate change adaptation, land-use and land-cover dynamics, watershed and ecosystem management, and the impacts of environmental change on communities. Through interdisciplinary collaborations, she develops geospatial decision-support tools and frameworks that help planners, policymakers, and resource managers address environmental challenges and build more resilient and equitable communities.
