Dr. Timothy Nyerges is Professor of Geography at the University of Washington where he specializes in teaching and research related to participatory geographic information systems (GIS) focusing on sustainability management for land use, transportation, and water resource related issues.  He received his Ph.D. from the Ohio State University in 1980 specializing in database management languages for GIS.  For the past fifteen years he has undertaken research projects funded by NSF, NOAA, and DOE to explore development and evaluation of networked GIS, particularly as supported by cyberinfrastructure technology, for enabling stakeholder participation in decision support.  Currently, his research focuses on a sustainability information science approach to coastal resilience because of his interest in the space-time and land-water dynamic facing communities. He is the director of the Professional Masters Program in GIS for Sustainability Management within the University of Washington’s Professional and Continuing Education Division.
