Sarah Hobbie is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor in the Department
of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior at the University of Minnesota. She studies
global change impacts on ecosystems, urban ecosystem ecology, and human impacts
on urban water resources.
Stéphane Jacquemoud is a Professor of Remote Sensing in the Institut de
Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris. His research focuses include
remote sensing of natural surfaces, leaf and soil radiative transfer models, and imaging spectroscopy.
Miriam Kaehler has worked as a visiting scholar at the Institute of Systematic
Botany at the New York Botanical Garden, and as a post-doc research fellow at
Universidade de São Paulo and Universidade Federal do Paraná, both in Brazil. Her
research focuses on molecular systematics and taxonomy of Bignoniaceae, as well
as plant inventory.
Shruti Khanna is a Senior Environmental Scientist at the California Department
of Fish and Wildlife. Her research focuses on understanding invasion ecology of
nonnative plants through remote sensing.
Doug King is a Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Geography
and Environmental Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. His research
focuses on high-resolution UAV to satellite scale imaging for vegetation composition, structure, productivity and health modeling, mapping, and monitoring in forest, wetland, agriculture, and tundra environments.
Mayara Krasinski Caddah is a Professor in the Department of Botany at the
Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Her research focuses on plant taxonomy and evolution, applying phylogenetics and population genetics to genera and
species delimitation.
Daniel Kükenbrink is a PhD candidate at the Remote Sensing Laboratories of the
University of Zurich. Three-dimensional forest reconstruction and the radiative
transfer in forest ecosystems are among his main research interests.
Andrew Latimer is a Professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at the
University of California Davis. He studies how plant populations and communities
respond to change, including sudden, major disturbance such as fire and drought, as
well as more gradual changes in climate.
Angela Lausch is head of the working group functional landscape ecology and
Remote Sensing at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, and
Privat Dozent (PD) at the Humboldt University to Berlin. She uses hyperspectral
remote sensing on airborne, drone, and laboratory platforms at the UFZ. Her
research focuses on remote sensing, trait and functional ecology, bio- and geodiversity, data science, linked open data, and the semantic web.
