Research
Alistair's research focuses on using
traditional natural resources and advanced remote sensing research to
develop new measurements relevant to a wide variety of natural resources
problems.
Alistair seeks to
identify field metrics that can be directly and mechanistically related to
actually remote sensing metrics, rather than relying on spectral indices or
similar methods that only "infer" ground processes.
Together with a wider team of faculty
and PhD students, Alistair works primarily within the following seven areas:
-
Fire Behavior, Fuel Consumption, and
Emissions Flux Estimation
-
Air Quality Modeling and Management/Mitigation Methods
-
Coarse Woody Debris and Rotten Stump
Combustion Dynamics
-
Linking Post-Fire Effects to
Biogeochemical and Water Cycles
-
Remote
Characterization of Vegetation Structure from Laser Altimetry Data
-
Development of Object-Orientated
spatial analysis methods
-
Development of New Field Instruments
for Rapid Measurement of Stem Volume and Taper
