Are you passionate about using data from remote sensors (e.g., broadly defined to include wildlife GPS trackers, LiDAR, satellite imagery, etc.) to study ecological systems and monitor the environment? Are you keen on learning advanced computational and/or statistical methods to answer global change questions? Then this PhD position is for you.
The position is with Dr. Denis Valle (School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences [SFFGS], University of Florida [UF]). Dr. Valle is also affiliated with the Tropical Conservation and Development program ( http://www.tcd.ufl.edu/ ) and the School of Natural Resources and Environment ( http://snre.ifas.ufl.edu/ ) at UF.
Research in Dr. Valle’s group currently focuses on tackling important applied problems in global change biology, conservation, and ecology, by creating and applying innovative models and quantitative methods. Examples of past research can be found at https://lnkd.in/gnVmncf2 under the publications tab.
This PhD position provides an exciting opportunity to gain broad experience and expertise working with remote sensing data and will provide broad training in all associated research skills. Given the wide range of problems tackled by Dr. Valles group, there is considerable flexibility regarding the specific project to be developed. However, we are particularly interested in projects that utilize LiDAR for questions related to tropical forests.
