Buddhi Gyawali is a Senior Professor at Kentucky State University. His research integrates environmental science, geography, and agricultural economics, focusing on land use/land cover dynamics, hydrological processes, and sustainable agriculture. Recent work examines policy effects on ecosystem services in Eastern Kentucky watersheds, the drivers of land cover change, and the adoption of precision agriculture technologies among small-scale farmers. He also utilizes UAV-based remote sensing for crop monitoring and investigates the impacts of land use change on land surface temperature. His scholarship bridges environmental planning, hydrology, and ecology to inform regional policy and practice.
