Susan Lynn Cutter (born 1950) is an American geographer and disaster researcher who is a Carolina Distinguished Professor of Geography and director of the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina. She is the author or editor of many books on disasters and disaster recovery.[1][2] Her areas of expertise include the factors that make people and places susceptible to disasters, how people recover from disasters, and how to map disasters and disaster hazards.[3][4] She chaired a committee of the National Research Council that in 2012 recommended more open data in disaster-monitoring systems, more research into disaster-resistant building techniques, and a greater emphasis on the ability of communities to recover from future disasters.[5]

Education and career

Cutter was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. She did her undergraduate studies at California State University, Hayward, graduating in 1973, and moved to the University of Chicago for graduate study in geography. She earned a master's degree from Chicago in 1974, and completed her doctorate there in 1976.[3]

Before joining the South Carolina faculty in 1993, Cutter worked for the University of Washington and Rutgers University. She also worked from 2009 to 2012 at the University Institute for Environment and Human Security, in Bonn, Germany, as Munich Re Foundation Chair on Social Vulnerability.[3]

Awards and honors

Cutter became a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1999. She served as president of the American Association of Geographers for 1999–2000.[2] The association gave her their Decade of Behavior Award in 2006,[6] their Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010,[3] and their Presidential Achievement Award in 2018.[7]

She became Carolina Distinguished Professor in 2001.[3] In 2015 the Norwegian University of Science and Technology gave her an honorary doctorate[8][3] and she was made a member of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters.[1] In 2024, Cutter was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.[9]
