SHOLA SKY ISLANDS

Arasumani M

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
RESEARCH INTERESTS:

I am interested in the application of advanced remote sensing in conservation biology and macroecology. I use Multispectral, Hyperspectral, Microwave and LiDAR Remote sensing techniques for Natural habitats conservation and Invasive species management. I explore multispectral satellite images and satellite-derived environmental variables to understand the ecology and extent of the global tropical montane ecosystem.

Projects involved: Landscape Mapping
PERSONAL AND OTHER INTERESTS:

Roam around, Hiking and Landscape exploration.
