Student Highlight.jpg

Congratulations to Daniel Beene, PhD candidate in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, who has been selected as the student recipient of the 2022 Science for Health of Indigenous Populations (SHIP) award. Daniel's research focuses on addressing social determinants of health in Indigenous populations through the use of Geographic Information Science (GIS) and geospatial technologies. His mentor and co-awardee, Assistant Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies, Yan Lin, PhD, praised Daniel's efforts in co-developing "a geospatial model to evaluate environmental exposure from more than 500 abandoned uranium mines (AUMs) on Tribal lands, which have created a legacy of chronic exposures to metal mixtures." Both Daniel and Lin will present their research at the SHIP symposium on April 8, 2022 - details coming soon.
