News
I am wrapping up my MS this summer and will be starting PhD in RSGAL in the fall.
I will be presenting my current research findings at 2012 ESA Annual Meeting, Portland, OR, August 5-10, 2012.

Bio
I am an MS student in Dr. Moskal's Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Laboratory. I joined RSGAL in 2010 from Evergreen State College where I worked with Dr. Dylan Fischer and Dr Carrie LeRoy participating in monitoring of the Evergreen Ecological Observation Network. Currently I work on Dr. Moskal's funded project: Terrestrial LiDAR (TLS) application in Precision Forestry
Research Area
My main research area is forest ecosystem functioning, especially relationships between forest productivity and diversity. During my undergraduate academic work I focused specifically on changes in carbon flux in relationship to stand diversity in a Pacific Northwest second growth forest. I am interested in applying remote sensing techniques to test the productivity-diversity relationship over vast landscapes. My research interests include fusing remotely sensed data as aerial LiDAR (ALS) and hyperspectral imagery to measure diversity and carbon flux in multiple ecosystems (urban forest, semi-urban and natural forested lands).
Curretnly, I am working on terrestrial LiDAR (TLS) applications in precision forestry, specifically, extracting stand inventory from the point cloud datasets. I am interested in using TLS for quantifying vertical and horizontal stand structure in Pacific Northwest forests.
