Long Bio

Dr. Junyu Lu's research interests are mainly in the area of climate change and adaptation, agricultural community engagement, disaster and risk management, and parks & protected areas. He integrates advanced methodologies into his research areas, including advanced statistical models, GIS techniques, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud computing. He has published more than 45 peer-reviewed journal articles, including first-authored publications in top-tier journals such as Nature Sustainability, Scientific Reports, Journal of Environmental Management, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, Applied Geography, Cities, Current Issues in Tourism, Tourism Management Perspectives, etc.

Before joining ASU, he was a postdoc in the Natural Resources Social Science Lab at Purdue University. He participated in multiple research projects on understanding the use of online agricultural Decision Support Tools developed by the Useful to Usable (U2U) team and investigating factors influencing the adoption of agricultural conservation practices. He completed a Ph.D. degree in Geography and a Master’s degree in Applied Statistics from the University of South Carolina – Columbia in 2018. During his Ph.D. period, he worked with NOAA’s Carolinas Integrated Sciences and Assessments (CISA) team for five years on a range of climate change and extreme weather research projects.
