Postdoctoral Researcher

Assessing and monitoring water resources using multi-source remote sensing data and modeling approaches

Canada Center for Remote Sensing, Ottawa, ON

Current research and/or projects

My current research is to develop surface water elevation and storage time series using multiple satellite altimetry and auxiliary data. This work may benefit hydrological modeling, flood forecasting and monitoring, and water resources management in the context of agriculture irrigation and resources development.
