Dr. Gregory Duveiller
Main Focus
Overall, my research aims at improving our understanding of the role of terrestrial ecosystems in the Earth System by using data-driven yet process-based thinking applied to satellite Earth Observation (remote sensing) data.
- Land-atmosphere interactions
- Remote sensing of vegetation
- Spatio-temporal statistical analysis
- Land cover / land use / land management
- Scale and spatial heterogeneity
