Alex obtained both a BSc in Geography and an Msc in Applied GIS and Remote Sensing from the University of Southampton. His postgraduate research project investigated the historical decline of malaria mortality rates across the southern United States against a range of spatio-temporal drivers. Alex joined the WorldPop team in 2019 as a GIS Technician, assisting in the pre-processing and production of spatio-temporal covariates for various projects.
The WorldPop research programme, based in the School of Geography and Environmental Sciences at the University of Southampton, is a multi-sectoral team of researchers, technicians and project specialists that produces data on population distributions and characteristics at high spatial resolution.
Initiated in October 2013 to combine The AfriPop Project, AsiaPop and AmeriPop projects, we have a diverse portfolio of projects, including large multi-million-pound collaborative projects with partner organisations, commercial data providers and international development organisations.
