Research Overview

I am currently investigating the thermal and spectroscopic signatures of moss species from peatland ecosystems subjected to elevated temperatures. This research provides important ground-truthing experiments to support the remote sensing of the responses of peatland vegetation to global warming. I work as part of an interdisciplinary team spanning Plant Sciences, Architecture, and Astronomy, in collaboration with the project's industrial lead, Super Sharp Space Systems Ltd.
