Current Research
My current research focuses on using dense Landsat time series for global land cover and land change mapping. It also involves the development of better techniques to estimate biomass in tropical forests using a combination of data from optical, radar and lidar sensors. I’m also interested in providing technical assistance to countries that seek to improve their technical capabilities for land cover change mapping and greenhouse gas emission reporting.
