About me
I am a final year PhD student working on global models of leaf phenology and VOC emissions using space-based remote sensing data.Research group
The Tropospheric Chemistry and Earth Observation Modelling Group
Research interests
- Process-based vegetation modelling
- Remote sensing of vegetation
- Bayesian statistical methods and other novel and interesting ways of using data to inform and improve models
PhD project
Supervisors
Prof. Paul Palmer, Edinburgh University
Dr. Drew Purves, Microsoft Research Cambridge
Project details
Understanding leaf cover seasonality is essential to a better understanding of the global carbon cycle and climate-vegetation interactions. I have buily a mechanistic global phenology model that explains and predicts leaf gain and loss in response to solar radiation, soil moisture and temperature.
