My research interests focus on the use of remote sensing for applications in land surface climatology. Such application include the modeling and analysis of surface radiation and energy balance, and the development of surface parameterization schemes within climate models. I also conduct research in quantitative methods and geographic information systems for the analysis of geophysical and natural systems.
