Arthur Lembo joined the Salisbury faculty in 2007, after spending 7 years at Cornell University, where he won the Cornell University Faculty Innovation in Teaching Award, the North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture Teacher of Merit, and the prestigious State University of New York Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching. Previous to his time at Cornell University, Dr Lembo spent 10 years in private industry implementing large-scale geographic information systems for both the public and private sector, and was President of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing’s (ASPRS) Central New York Region (www.esf.edu/asprs). Throughout
his career, Dr. Lembo has implemented some of the larger enterprise GIS
projects within the country, and is a frequently invited speaker to a number
of conferences and workshops focused on geographic information system
technology. Dr. Lembo maintains a blog at artlembo.wordpress.com. |

Awards 2018: State of Maryland
Board of Regents Award for Teaching Excelence. Research
Program Dr. Lembo's primary research interests are in the use of
advanced information technologies for geo-processing. Lately, his research is
focused on GIS applications using smart phone technologies, enterprise GIS,
and parallel processing using PC gaming cards. Some of his research has
included: · National Science
Foundation (NSF) sponsored research to implement massively parallel
processing algorithms with ordinary PC gaming card in raster based GIS (see poster). · Kellogg Foundation sponsored research
for evaluating the potential to enhance local and regional food systems. · Maryland Governors
Office of Crime Control and Prevention (GOCCP) sponsored research
for developing an Internet based crime analysis and reporting system. · Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sponsored research for implementing an Internet based GIS application for determining property locations within Maryland’s critical area. · National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored research for the Multi-Disciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) to create an Internet based GIS application to maintain and visualize earthquake related information. · United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) sponsored research for the development of an internet based spatial discovery system for agricultural and environmental information. · National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored research for the Institute of Civil Infrastructure Systems to study advanced information system technology for improved infrastructure planning and management (www.nyu.edu/icis). · National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored research to study the performance and interrelationships of the underground infrastructure at the World Trade Center during and immediately after the attacks of September 11 (see article). · Keyspan Energy sponsored research in the development of spatial algorithms for implementing GIS technology within the gas utility industry. · NASA sponsored research for the Development of the model curriculum for Geospatial Technologies. Dr. Lembo developed two online courses: Introduction to Geospatial Information, and Business Geographics. (http://geoworkforce.olemiss.edu/). During his years in the private sector, Dr. Lembo: · Provided direction to Eastman Kodak in identifying future markets for imaging. · Developed geo-processing tools for priceline.com in support of e-commerce activity. · Integrated global
positioning system technology with personal digital assistant technology
(PDA) for field data collection for the Long Island Rail Road. As part of his work with the Long Island
Rail Road, Dr. Lembo is involved in the use of dynamic segmentation modeling
of linear rail networks, and the linking of very large spatial data
warehouses with traditional data warehouse technology. · Implemented enterprise based GIS at the Long Island Rail Road, Nassau County, NY, and Suffolk County, NY. Service Dr.
Lembo has an active program in assisting local municipalities, first
responder organizations, and environmental groups with implementing
geographic solutions to their needs. Recently, he has begun development
of Internet based applications for use in the Apple iPad and other
Android-based systems for the Nature Conservancy, the City of Havre de Grace,
and the Sea Gull Century. Some of the recent organizations that Dr. Lembo has assisted include the Salisbury City Police, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Public Agency for Pipeline Awareness, and Maryland Department of Natural Resources. |
