ISCIENCES - IMAGING AND INFORMATION SCIENCES
We call ourselves "I-Sciences" because we use imaging and information
sciences to study the Earth. We develop innovative software
to improve public access to the rich archives of data about
Earth. We study the implications of environmental stress
on human security. We build tools and databases to monitor
sustainable use of Earth resources using spatial data acquired through
remote sensors. Our projects have included: measuring the
productivity of cultivated land in China; mapping global
patterns of energy use with nighttime illumination; and examining
the implications of changes in the Russian boreal forest.
