How Notre Dame ecologists are matching NASA images with field data to measure forest health
Notre Dame researchers spent the summer trekking through the Wisconsin forest taking samples from hundreds of tagged trees. They're working to match what can be seen in a single pixel from the International Space Station with the actual measurements taken on the ground.Compared to hand-measuring each tree in a land plot, the resulting models will mark a major leap forward in predicting forest health and potential wildfires.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/8491fb
