Wen-Ching Chuang

Wen-Ching is a sustainability scientist and a GIS instructor who takes an interdisciplinary approach to address the complexity of social-ecological resilience. Her research uses geospatial analysis to monitor the change of social-ecological systems under the impact of climate change. To better understand communities' resilience to climate change, her research investigates the community’s adaptive capacity by assessing ecosystem-based adaptation, such as the distribution of green spaces, green infrastructure, and urban trees across cities. Her work highlights the importance of interdisciplinarity in investigating the interactions between human and natural systems. Her research interests include human vulnerability to climate change, disaster resilience, and environmental inequality, which she uses to integrate my teaching and services. 

Wen-Ching has extensive research and teaching experience before joining the School of Geographical Science and Urban Planning at ASU. She taught at Miami University before moving back to AZ.
