\u201cThermal radiation can\u2019t be seen with the eye, so we have to rely on this technology, which varies in quality based on equipment and other factors,\u201d Hoffman-Hall says. \u201cThis activity really gives the students a chance to experience those challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remote Sensing and Intro to Environmental Studies are the two classes Hoffman-Hall is teaching in her first semester as an Eckerd faculty member\u2014a golden opportunity that materialized at the perfect time for her. The College was searching for an environmental studies professor who could bring together several disciplines in the study of our natural environment.

Geography allows me to study all of those things and how they are related to the people who live on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

In first grade, she swore she\u2019d be a paleontologist because it was the biggest word she knew. It wasn\u2019t until she did well on a remote-sensing test she thought she had failed, as an undergraduate at the University of Oklahoma, that being a geographer seemed like something she might want to do. To earn her doctorate in geographical sciences from the University of Maryland, Hoffman-Hall used satellite imaging\u2014remote sensing\u2014to determine how the environment influenced the risk of contracting malaria in rural Myanmar. Satellite surveys and statistical data revealed that heavily forested areas had higher incidences of malaria diagnosis, possibly due to a particular type of mosquito that prefers forested environments, Hoffman-Hall explains.<\/p>\n

That research was made difficult when she lost contact with her research team during the coup in Myanmar. Using technology to identify problems interested her deeply, but Hoffman-Hall wanted her skills to benefit communities closer to home. She recently was appointed as an American Geophysical Union Thriving Earth Exchange Community Science Fellow<\/a>\u2014as part of a program that recruits scientists to pair with communities with questions or problems in their local environments that require investigations and solutions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”9242″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Juniors Ed Heller (left) and Colton Schumaker work on a class assignment for Hoffman-Hall.<\/span><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]During her interview process with Eckerd, she heard of the faculty\u2019s desire to revive the Remote Sensing course\u2014and that class sizes at Eckerd were a tiny fraction of the lecture halls of 240 students she was instructing in Maryland.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]Even as a local native, Hoffman-Hall was surprised to learn that less than 22% of Eckerd\u2019s students were actually from Florida.
