Barry N. Haack

Barry N. Haack (born November 1, 1946) is an American geographer and Emeritus Professor in the Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science at

geographic information systems (GIS), and technology transfer from developed to developing nations.[2][3][4] Haack is a visiting physical scientist at the United States Geological Survey and an elected Fellow in the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS).[5] Through education and collaboration, Haack has influenced the careers of scientists and decision makers from many United States federal agencies and in universities and agencies in nearly thirty countries. He has held formal arrangements with the United Nations, World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, NASA, the European Space Agency, the National Geographic Society, and many other international organizations and country governmental agencies.[6][7]

Career and professional highlights

While a graduate student at the University of Michigan, Haack was employed by the

USAID
workshops on technology transfer of remote sensing in Swaziland and Kenya.

As a basic research academic, Haack was one of the initial remote sensing scientists to integrate data from optical and radar sensors.[11] Many of his publications are based upon this research activity. Early in his academic career, Haack had fellowships at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology. It was at JPL in 1981 that Haack first integrated optical and radar data and began publishing scientific articles on the topic.[12][13]

As an extension of his Africa workshop participations, in 1981 Haack was offered a position as a remote sensing expert at the USAID funded Regional Remote Sensing Facility (RRSF) in

Landsat imagery through training programs, demonstration projects, and distribution of imagery.[14] While at the RRSF, Haack began to employ satellite imagery to monitor the Omo River Delta in Lake Turkana.[15][16]

The comparison of two satellite images for 1973 and 1994, yellow and blue tones, determined a 629 km2 growth of the Omo River Delta in Lake Turkana, Kenya.

During the 1980s, Haack received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to work with Sudanese scientists to evaluate the utility of spaceborne radar for mapping in Sudan. Haack and his students frequently used the second largest city in Sudan, Wad Madani, along the Blue Nile and associated large Gezira irrigation area as a study site.[17][18][19]

In 1984 he began to conduct remote sensing training for a USAID-funded National Remote Sensing Centre in Kathmandu, Nepal. That experience led to at least 15 additional professional visits to Nepal for remote sensing and GIS initiatives.[20][21][22][23]

Haack was appointed Associate Professor of Geographic and Cartographic Sciences in the Geography Program at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia in 1985. He taught courses in physical geography and remote sensing as well as served as an advisor for master and doctoral students. Many of his students obtained prominent positions in science, policy, and intelligence areas both in the federal government and commercial companies as well as entering academia.[1]

Haack also taught remote sensing workshops for NASA and other federal agencies, the European Space Agency in The Netherlands and at multiple international venues including Syria, Afghanistan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Peru, Suriname, and Ecuador.[24][25] For the academic year 1994-1995, Haack was a Fulbright Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.[26] While in Dar es Salaam and with scientists from Kenya and Tanzania, Haack obtained NASA support to evaluate combined radar and optical satellite imagery to study refugee camps. One of the camps later visited was Dadaab in Eastern Kenya.[27][26]

In addition to the international technology transfer activities already cited, Haack has also been supported by USDA, USGS, US Census, World Bank, United Nations, National Geographic Society, US Air Force, International Union for the Conservation of Nature, International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, InterAmerican Development Bank, and directly by foreign governmental entities. Those activities have included program development and evaluation, training, as well as basic and applied science. Other professionally visited countries include Indonesia, Fiji, Mozambique, Thailand, China, Namibia, Malawi, Zambia, and Ethiopia.[4][28]

Haack was involved in national mapping activities in multiple countries. In Afghanistan, that effort was in support of the evaluation and improvement of the agricultural sector. A specific focus was changes in the Helmand-Arghandab irrigation scheme.[29][30] His multiple activities in Suriname included advising on the conversion of all land ownership information to digital format as well as the social environmental impact of a proposed bauxite mine in the interior rainforest.[31][32] In Nepal, he mapped urban expansion in the Kathmandu Valley[33] and was the Chief Technical Advisor for a large international programme to develop improved management tools for the high mountains including Mount Everest.[34]

Haack has been on the editorial board for several scientific journals, including GIScience and Remote Sensing.[35] He has also been active his entire career with the major scientific organization in his field, ASPRS. In 2006, Haack was elected a Fellow in ASPRS on the first ballot, a significant recognition in his scientific community.

Selected publications

Haack has published over 200 primarily peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and major scientific reports, which are the primary standard for scientific contributions. He is first author on over 60 percent of the publications and corresponding author often with primary responsibility or with a student as first author for another 25 percent of the publications. At the time of his retirement in February, 2020, he had over 2000 professional scientific citations, another major form of scientific recognition, as documented on Google Scholar.[36] Haack has authored chapters in the remote sensing industry standard manuals published by ASPRS.[37]
