Join the CGA for a Virtual lecture from Dr. Dan Sousa titled Earth from Space: How remote sensing can help us understand landscape structure, composition and change.

In this talk, he’ll cover a body of collaborative work that weaves remote sensing image processing, spatiotemporal analysis, and human landscape impacts. Image processing optimizes retrieval algorithms to estimate key inputs to geospatial models like land cover/land use, evapotranspiration, temperature, and plant and soil diversity from remote sensing data. Spatiotemporal analysis uses our wealth of historical data to characterize and model patterns of landscape change. Measuring human impact synergizes physical parameters from remote sensing with knowledge that can only be obtained through the social sciences and humanities, advancing geography through a holistic understanding of human-landscape interactions.
