Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of British Columbia
$200,000.00
Remote Sensing
FY 2017-18
Summary
This research program is focused on using remote sensing technologies to improve our understanding of forest structure and function, and their impacts on forest productivity and the maintenance of biodiversity. The research includes both fine scale approaches investigating relationships between reflectance and plant physiological processes, and broad scale, policy relevant questions focused on relating remote sensing-derived indicators to regional and national level biodiversity assessments. This dual approach allows us to both advance our theoretical understanding of the linkages between reflectance and vegetation condition, and contribute to discussions around species management and conservation priorities.
