Biography : 

I am motivated by a desire to help solve the challenges posed by climate change. My research helps untangle how terrestrial ecosystems respond to climate change, in hopes that we can find evidence-based solutions to this global threat. I study the ability of remote sensing to track vegetation's uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Using signals from space that respond to: structure - the quantity of vegetation on the ground, biochemistry - the chlorophyll available in the leaves of that vegetation, and physiology - how light is used by leaves, we can better map and monitor photosynthesis from space.
