Emphasis: bio-environmental remote sensing, GIS and spatial analysis. |
Current research interests: innovative modeling of optical/radar synergy in biophysical remote sensing, vegetation mapping and environmental stress monitoring. Example applications include studies in forest biophysical qantification, weed invasion, drought and oak decline, rice mapping, prairie grassland conservation, and bioenergy. |
