I am interested in how data-supported insights can open communication channels that improve working relationships between farmers and the public sector. Utilizing remotely sensed data, I look at regional changes that will affect environmental and economic benefits provided by the landscape (i.e. soil, plants, animals), primarily in an agricultural context.
