She studies the ability to map plant species across seasons in diverse ecosystems. She uses various technologies to study plant health across environmental gradients and physiology’s effect on optical properties of plant species. She is broadly trained in plant physiology, remote sensing, and ecosystem science. Her research leverages a number of tools including novel quantitative methods, land surface temperature, and leaf and imaging spectroscopy in the optical and thermal domain.
