John Radke is a Professor Emeritus at the College of Environmental Design, University of California, Berkeley. He retired from faculty duties in 2023. A founding member of the Center for Catastrophic Risk Management, his research focuses on design development and analytical methods embedded in geographic information science (GIS). His work is instrumental in recognizing spatial structures and changes in complex landscapes, particularly in relation to climate change. Professor Radke has been involved in interdisciplinary projects aiming to develop robust risk management approaches for critical infrastructure systems. He directed the campus GIS Center from 1996 to 2008 and is currently involved in examining the impacts of global warming on California's infrastructure. His research contributions include developing advanced multivariate models that integrate high-resolution spatial data to predict environmental degradation and assess vulnerabilities of infrastructure to climate change. His courses at UC Berkeley have covered topics such as geographic information systems, quantitative methods in environmental planning, and urban planning applications. Radke’s numerous publications span a range of topics including urban planning, environmental risk assessment, and the integration of remote sensing with spatial analysis.
