In-lab hyper-spectral sensor<\/p>\nAngela Lausch, a researcher at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, UFZ, Leipzig, Germany, is spending her sabbatical year 2015-16 in our lab. Dr. Lausch works on integrating biological information across spatial scales. She begins with measurements of plant traits, e.g. water stress, in the lab.<\/p>\n
She uses hyper-spectral imagery, taken in the lab, to translate the biological information into spectral information. She then translates this information across ever-larger spatial extents using hyper-spectral imagery at low elevations with a micro-light aircraft and an octocopter, at higher elevations using a small plane and a gyrocopter, and most remotely using satellite imagery.<\/p>\n

Angela’s goal is to understand how we can transfer relevant biological information, e.g. drought stress, across scales, ultimately allowing us to map biological traits using satellite imagery.<\/p>\n
Angela also is hoping to improve her English during her time in Ottawa. The rest of us may improve our English as well; she has already taught us a new word – ‘hemeroby’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
