For the past several years, my research has focused on using proximal, airborne, and spaceborne remote sensing for monitoring terrestrial ecosystems. My most recent research focuses on developing methods to link optical remote sensing to plant diversity. In doing so, I bring together concepts from remote sensing, image processing, plant ecophysiology, chemical ecology, and landscape ecology.
