Remote Sensing

Satellite images provide a wonderful record of the last fifty years of global change. We have pioneered new methods to map wildlife habitat and proxies for biodiversity and habitat, as well as agricultural abandonment and other types of land use change for large areas. We analyze MODIS/VIIRS data across the globe, Landsat and Sentinel-2 across continents, and high-resolution CORONA spy satellite imagery across countries.

Winter Habitat Indices (WHIs) for biodiversity and conservation

Jan 2021 - Biodiversity - Conservation - Remote Sensing

David Gudex-Cross and Likai Zhu are developing new satellite-based indices of snow and frozen ground dynamics for winter biodiversity assessments and other conservation applications.
