Conservation Sciences recruits reader in Geoinformatics
Conservation Sciences welcomes Ross Hill, who joins the School as a Reader in Geinformatics. Ross has been involved in the use of remote sensing for research and operational applications since 1992. His background is in environmental science and remote sensing. For his PhD he examined primary, disturbed and regenerating rain forest using satellite imagery, and investigated vegetation phenology across the Amazon Basin in time-series data.
