My research interest is hyperspectral remote sensing and image processing for earth science applications. Specifically, these are:
- porting hyperspectral mineral indices to freely available satellite imagery;
- analysis of multi-temporal satellite imagery data for monitoring earth dynamics;
- analysis of time-lapse camera data for monitoring earth dynamics;
