Kort præsentation

My principle area of research interest concerns the framework of micrometeorology and hydrology.

In several years, I have designed and implemented experiments using drone borne Laser scanners (LiDAR), gas analyzers, thermal and multispectral imagery to monitor dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems and urban sites due to climate alterations and anthropogenic activities.

Related projects:

  • Evaluation of above ground biomass in forests using airborne, drone-based LiDAR observations, and Deep Learning methods (Denmark),
  • Forecast urban flooding at fine resolution in rapidly expanding cities using Lidar-derived and satellite-based Digital Elevation Models (Africa)
  • Detection of drought stress of forest trees by combining phenotyping and genotyping (Denmark)
