My research makes use of remote-sensor systems with high spectral as well as spatial resolutions.  The focus of the work is on both vegetation canopies (to include agricultural crops, range grasses, and aquatic vegetation) and surface waters, with emphasis on obtaining biophysical information ultimately leading to meaningful practical applications.  I have a special interest in the field techniques and procedures that are required for very controlled, systematic acquisition of high-quality in-situ spectral data.  Additionally, I am interested in transferring results of field investigations toward understanding terrestrial signals acquired by airborne and satellite imaging spectrometers.
