dr. P.C. Vermunt (Paul)

Researcher

About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Water Resources (WRS), Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC).

My research and teaching concentrate on microwave remote sensing of vegetation and soil moisture. Specifically, I am passionate about forests and their hydraulic system. My current research mission is to accelerate the development of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite products for forest water status assessments. This way, we can use the unique features of microwave remote sensing to advance the study of forest resilience to droughts. I have a great love for fieldwork, and I am interested in the opportunistic use of existing data networks.
