An economist and a transportation planner, his work leverages geospatial tools to analyze the potential of urban transportation solutions to tackle global climate change and local environmental challenges. His current research uses the crowdsourced OpenStreetMap to understand patterns of global sprawl, and large-scale GPS datasets to study how cruising for parking exacerbates urban congestion and pollution. At UCSC, he teaches courses on environmental policy, ecological economics, green cities, and transportation planning. Dr. Millard-Ball was formerly a Principal Transportation Planner with NelsonNygaard Consulting Associates in San Francisco and New York, and taught at McGill University before coming to UCSC. He holds an MA from the University of Edinburgh and a PhD from Stanford University. For more information, see people.ucsc.edu/~adammb/.
