| My main research area of research is forest canopy biology and physiology, particularly carbon cycling. I am interested in landscape patterns of species and functional diversity in forests and their underlying physical and historical causes. One of the main tools I have used over the past few years is remote sensing, striving to link plant physiology, remote sensing and landscape patterns in tropical forests. I think that high resolution images (taken from helicopters, planes, cranes, cherry pickers) are critical for the intelligent interpretation of remotely sensed data. At this scale, we can link image data directly to ecological and physiological data and understand how canopy structure and composition determines reflected light measured in images. The relationships developed with high resolution images can then be used to understand landscape patterns in coarser scale satellite images. I also have worked with and continuing interest in plant physiology, ecosystem ecology and environmental education. |
