On the Statistical Significance of Local Land Cover Measurements: A Comparative Analysis of Citizen Science and Remote Sensing Programs
Low-cost sensors, such as NASA’s Science and Technology Education for Land/Life Assessment (STELLA), make such granular data collection more cost-effective.
Quantifying Plant Biodiversity Using Different Spectrometers, Spectral Unmixing, and UAV Imagery
This research aims to address the tradeoffs of cost and precision in an effort to make large-scale biodiversity monitoring more accessible by testing alternative spectrometers such as the NASA STELLA Q.
