I am the Earl B. and Sophia H. Shaw Professor of Geography in the Department of Geography at Florida State University. My research and teaching interests are in transportation, geographic information systems and science, and urban-regional analysis. My current research is in the following interrelated areas:
- Measuring transport-based accessibility to goods, healthcare, vital services, and opportunities
- Disaster relief, evacuation, and sheltering; especially in the hurricane context
- Commuting choice, happiness, land use, and their interrelationships
- Aging, rural, and vulnerable populations and their transportation needs
- Spatial optimization and network analysis in GIS
- The interface between theory and practice; how research is implemented
I am actively recruiting new graduate students with overlapping research interests. Contact me at mhorner@fsu.edu to learn more about graduate studies at FSU Geography.
