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. |
