During Droughts, Thirstier Mountain Forests Could Mean Less Water Downstream
Research led by Geospatial Analytics Ph.D. student Katie McQuillan finds increased water use by upstream mountain forests could leave less water for other forests, cities and wildlife during drought.
Deja Perkins Recognized as One of North Carolina’s Black STEM Leaders
Geospatial Analytics Ph.D. student Deja Perkins is co-organizer of #BlackBirdersWeek and the BlackAFinSTEM Collective.
Study: U.S. Flood Damage Risk Is Underestimated
A research team led by Geospatial Analytics Ph.D. student Elyssa Collins used artificial intelligence to predict where flood damage is likely to happen in the conterminous United States, suggesting that recent flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency do not capture the full extent of flood risk.
Observing Landslide Events from Multi-Satellite Sensors
Geospatial Analytics Ph.D. student Raja Das is advancing the use of satellite imagery and machine learning to map the impacts of landslides and flooding, comparing the utility of different spatial resolutions and algorithms.
Future Fire Use and Wildland Urban Interface Communities in Western North Carolina
Geospatial Analytics Ph.D. student Kate Jones is working with land managers to develop scenarios of future prescribed fire management and predict the effect of different strategies on the distribution of downwind smoke through space and time.
Efficiently Monitoring Small Farms from Space
Geospatial Analytics Ph.D. student Izzi Hinks developed an approach to optimally augment publicly available satellite imagery with high-resolution commercial data to track crop development on small farms.
