Biography
Michael Kuby is a professor of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University, where he has taught since 1988. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, World Bank, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and NASA. He was a co-author of the Transportation chapter in the 3rd National Climate Assessment in 2014. He is lead author of the interactive textbook, Human Geography in Action, published by John Wiley & Sons, and co-editor of the 2009 and 2015 Arizona Town Hall Background Reports on Transportation. He is currently Area Editor for Location Science for Networks and Spatial Economics and is on the editorial board of the Journal of Transport Geography. Previously, he served as Chair and Secretary/Treasurer of the Transportation Geography Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers. He is also faculty advisor of Gamma Theta Upsilon (the Geography Honor Society) and the ASU Men's Ultimate Frisbee club.
