Research Interest
My research focuses on an understanding of coupled human-environmental systems. I am interested in the use of remote sensing and geoinformation methods in environmental change studies.
I connect advance remote sensing methods (from big data mining to machine learning) with land system analysis. My primary study regions are mountains and polar regions.
