remote sensing and microclimate systems
Advisor: Mark Friedl
Tristan’s research interests involve using remote sensing to study how vegetation phenology and boundary layer dynamics are responding to a changing climate. Specifically, he is interested in understanding how extreme events and seasonality alter land surface/boundary-layer characteristics. Prior to BU, Tristan obtained his BS and MS degrees at the University of Kansas in Atmospheric Science, where he studied the impacts of different environmental forcings and drought on grassland water and carbon fluxes. He is currently working in the Land Cover & Surface Climate Group analyzing long term changes and variability in global phenology.
