Dr. Cowen received his B.A. (1966) and M.A. (1971) in Geography from the State University of New York at Buffalo, and his Ph.D. in Geography from The Ohio State University in 1971. Currently, Dr. Cowen is Distinguished Professor Emeritus and is a former chair of the Department of Geography at the University of South Carolina. While an active faculty member, he started one of the first academic GIS programs, and advised 14 Ph.D. and 47 master’s students to completion of their degrees. Professor Cowen also directed the college computer center for 22 years, and served as interim university vice president for computing for an eight month period. In addition to his university activities, Dr. Cowen is the current Chair of the National Geospatial Advisory Committee. He also chaired the Mapping Science Committee of the National Research Council for six years, and is a member of the NRC Board on Earth Sciences and Resources and he recently chaired the NRC Study Committee “Land Parcel Databases: A National Vision”. Professor Cowen served as the first elected president of the AAG GISS specialty group, and ran the group’sits central office for more than 20 years. He was one of the cofounders of UCGIS.

Our recent research progress on establishing a county-scale real-time flood response system is presented. This system is designed to provide instructive intelligence on flood impact to support flood emergency response. Streamflow forecast provided by the National Water Model is used to understand future flow condition. A terrain analysis workflow named GeoFlood has been developed to process the lidar-derived high-resolution terrain data, convert the flow conditions into corresponding flood maps and estimate the inundation risk of each building. Overlapping the inundation layer with the address point system gives decision makers and first responders insights to better organize the emergency response acitivities.

While essential, the safe, proper and timely management of debris is often an overlooked component of emergency response. Disaster debris must be properly managed to protect human health, comply with regulations, conserve disposal capacity, reduce injuries, and minimize or prevent environmental impacts. This requires advanced planning and both pre- and post-disaster coordination between various levels of government as well as the private sector.

- The Disaster Debris Managment Tool (DDRT) was developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency to provide an interactive mapping platform that provides information and locations for facilities capable of managing disaster debris. The tool can be used by emergency planners at the federal, state, tribal, and local levels to effectively coordinate the proper recovery, recyling, and disposal of disaster debris in a way that complies with regulations, conserves disposal capacity, and minimizes long-term environmental impacts. The DDRT is currently expanding its coverage of states and territories to support multi-region sustainable disaster debris management. This presentation will introduce the expansion of the DDRT’s coverage into Region 6 (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas), the ways it can be used by emergency planners for effective debris management, and its broader scope in sustainable materials management and green remediation assistance. + The Disaster Debris Managment Tool (DDRT) was developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency to provide an interactive mapping platform that provides information and locations for facilities capable of managing disaster debris.
