Bio/Research
Dr. David Atkinson's research in the Polar Regions Spatial and Environmental Analysis Laboratory (POLAR SEAL) currently focuses on the estimation, mapping, and change detection of biophysical variables within the Low, Mid and High Arctic ecosystems. POLAR SEAL uses remote sensing, spatial statistics and spatial modelling to examine changes to snow cover, soil moisture, vegetation cover, biomass, and carbon dioxide exchange at various spatial scales. Changes to these biophysical variables can have broader impacts on the landscape and those that depend on it.
