Bio/Research

Dr. Sanchez-Azofeifa's research is related to the study of impacts of land use/cover change (LUCC) on biodiversity loss and habitat fragmentation in tropical dry forest environments. His research involves the study of theoretical linkages between remote sensing (multispectral and hyperspectral) and the spatial/temporal dynamics of Leaf Area Index (LAI), Primary Productivity (PP), and Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR). In addition, his research interests involve the development of techniques for the analysis and interpretation of the presence of non-self supporting tropical systems (lianas) and tropical hardwood species (e.g. Mahogany) at the leaf and canopy level using hyperspectral remote sensing databases.
