Bio/Research

Every research project I conducted since the Master’s degree were related to applied remote sensing, climatology/hydrology, cryospheric science, modeling and improvement of field measurement methods of cryospheric components, primarily snow cover and secondarily, lake ice and frozen ground/soil moisture. These field, remote sensing and modeling studies were in Quebec, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory and Nunavut.

In remote sensing, I have limited my methodology, until now, to satellite observations. I recently started to investigate an emerging field of remote sensing, that of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) observations, for improving the collection of cryospheric information at different spatial scales. I am currently developing a low cost UAV that will be equipped with an optical and a radar altimeter payload.
