Current Projects
NASA SERVIR - GALUP
Researchers at the University of Florida (UF) are working with a team of collaborators from the Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Services (CERSGIS) in Ghana, and the University of Ghana to link deforestation, urbanization, and agricultural expansion for land-use decisions in Ghana.
NASA - Remote Sensing Theory
Theoretical modeling of dynamic vegetation in agricultural terrains for active passive microwave retrieval of soil and crop parameters
This proposal investigates recently identified physical asymmetries that exist in modeling consistent active and passive (AP) microwave signatures of land surface in order to produce a single, experimentally validated theory with meaningful physical interpretations.
Past Projects
NSF-IUSE-GEOPATHS
Collaborative Research: GP-EXTRA: Geoscience Engagement and Outreach (GEO) - High-Impact Integrated Academic and Professional Experiences
The Geoscience Engagement and Outreach (GEO) project will offer students authentic geoscience research experiences explicitly integrated with practical applications and scaffolded by classroom work.
SMAPVEX16 in Iowa
University of Florida Ground-Based Observations During SMAPVEX16-IA At Sweeney Farms
The NASA Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) and the ESA Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) missions include microwave radiometers at L-band that provides global observations of SM at 36 and 25km, respectively, with a repeat coverage of every 2-3 days.
