Biography
Chris joined the faculty in 2024. Prior to moving to UNB, he was a Postdoctoral Research Scholar and Assistant Project Scientist at the University of California, Davis.
His research takes an interdisciplinary approach leveraging remote sensing and ecophysiology to better understand plant and ecosystem response to environment and climate change.
He uses remote sensing techniques across spatial scales (leaf, canopy, drone, and satellite) and temporal scales (short-term stress response [heat, drought, disease], phenology, intra- and inter-annual variation) to advance techniques for ecosystem monitoring and assessment, and for applications in high-throughput phenotyping in forestry and agriculture.
