Jacob Parry
Presentation
Doctoral Researcher in the Division of Remote Sensing. Work focuses on the intersection between remote sensing and forest planning for biodiversity conservation.
- Monitoring biodiversity indicators as part of the Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR)
- Optimising forest management for multiple objectives and for mitigating trade-offs
- Forest connectivity analysis using remote sensing
- Analysis of forest structural complexity using light detection and ranging (LiDAR)
