What we do

In our lab, research focuses on answering environmental questions across large areas using a wide variety of approaches including remote sensing, image interpretation, geographic information systems, and cutting-edge techniques in computer science.

In the lab, we are currently doing projects in several scientific disciplines, including:
  1. Editing and authoring chapters in Cloud-Based Remote Sensing with Google Earth Engine, a freely accessible 1200-page book of lab exercises using the Earth Engine tool.
  2. Developing and applying an algorithm (Bayesian Updating of Land Cover, BULC) for updating land-cover classifications capable of ingesting data from multiple sensors of varying quality and specifications;
  3. Developing an algorithm to keep continual track of the expected values of satellite imagery, with an efficient online algorithm. 
  4. The extraction of lake carbon content from satellite imagery of northern-hemisphere lakes.

Our Research

Our lab's research focuses on understanding environmental change by studying the causes and consequences of spatial variation in ecological processes. ​
