Olaf Kuhlke is an Assistant Professor in Geography. His research and
teaching interests are in three principle areas: culture, population
and environment. As a cultural geographer, he examines the
socio-spatial construction of nationalism and its expression in public
spaces. In the area of population geography, he has worked on projects
ranging from studying migrant behavior and representation to local
demographic mapping using Geographic Information Systems. In the field
of environmental studies, his focus is on urban ecology, especially
habitat mapping and urban water issues. At UMD, Dr. Kuhlke teaches
courses in human geography, maps and cartographic methods, remote
sensing, urban ecology, field techniques, and river basin management.
