UPROSE Hub Advocate

Nebraska Hernandez is a Puerto Rican geographer and political ecologist. Holding both a B.S. and M.S. in Geography from Pennsylvania State University, he is dedicated to addressing environmental issues across spatiotemporal scales. Through teaching, research, coalition building, and advising government agencies, he aims to fight for climate justice in multiple arenas. As part of his work, Nebraska leverages GIS and critical cartographic methods to create maps that analyze the disproportionate impacts of environmental harms on environmental justice communities.
