Industrial PhD student within WIFORCE. Developing dynamic soil moisture maps and optimization tools to better balance different values in the forest.
Presentation
My research is focused on developing dynamic soil moisture maps that reflect weather changes in real time, using data-driven approaches. I create high-resolution maps and models that predict soil moisture across space and time by combining environmental variables calculated from airborne laser scans with weather data from satellites, together with machine-learning methods. The maps serve as decision support during planning and harvesting to minimize rutting damage and environmental impact from forestry operations.
