Eric Lambin (born 23 September 1962) is a Belgian geographer. He is a professor at the Université catholique de Louvain and Stanford University.[1][2]
From 1999 to 2005, he was Chair of the Land Use and Land Cover Change (LUCC) project (a joint initiative of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP)).[1][3]
In July 2019, Lambin received the 2019 Blue Planet Prize for a research project which cross-referenced satellite data with the socioeconomic class of the areas it came from. The intent of the research was to find and highlight the impact of economic globalization on local ecosystems and their residents, and found that reforestation in one area of the world corresponded to an increased timber industry in others.[4]
