Chandra Prasad Giri (born May 13, 1961) is a Nepalese-American author, scientist, and businessman. He specializes in remote sensing and sensor technologies in mapping and monitoring of land cover and mangrove forests. Giri is currently chief of the Sensing and Spatial Analysis branch of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and adjunct professor at Duke University in North Carolina. Prior to this, he worked as senior scientist at the United States Geological Survey, Columbia University, the Asian Institute of Technology, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the Nepal Government. Prior to this he worked as a school teacher at Dangi Secondary School, Dangihat, Morang, Nepal and Dhulabari Secondary School, Dhulabari, Jhapa, Nepal

His work produced the first, most comprehensive and highest resolution mangrove forest database of the world using earth observation satellite data at 30 meters spatial resolution. [1] The overall goal of his research is to assess the present status and historical dynamics of land cover and land use to describe and quantify patterns, trends, rates, causes, and consequences of both natural and anthropogenic changes from local to global scales. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Early life and education

Giri was born in an extremely remote village in the foothills of Mount Everest in Nepal. His parents were farmers in a rural village called Chimchima in the middle hills of Nepal. In the early years, he was raised by his grandfather Pratap Giri and his mother Rupa Giri. [9]

Books

Giri is the author of the books listed below.

  • 'Remote sensing of land use and land cover: Principles and Applications. The book became the best seller among remote sensing publications in 2012. [10]

Research

Giri is an expert in the field of mapping and monitoring of mangrove forests. His work focuses on developing new methods to improve scientific understanding of the distribution and dynamics of land cover/mangrove forests. [15] [16] [17] [18] [19]

Song writing

In 2019, Giri co-wrote a Nepali song entitled "timi suna na, timi bujha na" [20]

In March 2020, Giri co-wrote his second Nepali song entitled "Malai Pardeshi Nabhana" [21]
