Research
TreeSense is organised into four tightly coupled research themes:
- remote sensing of woody properties
- deep learning for large-scale ecosystem assessment,
- woody ecosystem response to climate change, and
- drivers and outcomes of change in woody resources.
TreeSense principal investigators (PIs) have recently begun integrating these themes with promising, preliminary outcomes, and, as a Centre of Excellence, TreeSense now aims to elevate this burgeoning cross-fertilisation between research fields to the next level.
This can only be achieved by synergies obtained by bringing together the proposed centre leader (PI), four national and two international Co-PIs, and a carefully selected team of national and international collaborators. Read more about the teams under People.
