Kirk Stueve

At Johns Hopkins, Kirk Stueve is a lecturer in the MS in Geographic Information Systems and the MS in Environmental Sciences and Policy programs where he draws on more than 15 years of experience leveraging the latest science and technology to grow and do more with less in the private sector.

His experience includes investing in and managing land for both conservation and economic purposes in the U.S. Midwest, farming row crops, and working to develop and deliver data-driven solutions in the AgTech startup space. Stueve is a very enthusiastic practitioner of applied GIS and remote sensing for landscape ecology and landscape agronomy applications. In fact, you might find him mechanically removing invasive buckthorn from one of his properties with a high-speed mulcher or experimenting with drones and AI.

Stueve holds a PhD in geography from Texas A&M University and an MA in Environmental Studies and GIS from the University of Southern California.
