I am always keen to speak to motivated graduate students with a strong background in Remote Sensing and an interest in topics relating to optical and SAR remote sensing, ecosystem change dynamics and disaster monitoring.
I am currently looking to recruit an MSc student to start in September 2022 to work on a project related to lake and wetland changes over time. The student will use image time series derived from a range of optical and SAR sensors (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-1 and RADARSAT Constellation Mission) to track changes in inundation patterns in lakes and wetland in selected sites across the Boreal and Arctic regions of Canada.
Please contact me at bdv@uoguelph.ca for a more detailed discussion on this project. Interested candidates are encouraged to send me a resume/CV, a statement of interest and unofficial transcripts.
