Research Summary

My research uses remotely sensed data to answer important scientific questions related to terrestrial vegetation, wildfire, and climate. Some of the research that I am currently working on includes: 1. Monitoring seasonal changes in vegetation 2. Measuring vegetation response to disturbances like wildfire and drought 3. Assessing firefighter safety, including safety zones and escape routes 4. Measuring greenhouse gas plumes. For more details, see https://ursa.utah.edu
