Description

Eleanor is a DPhil/PhD student in the Geography Department at the University of Oxford where she is using hyperspectral cameras on drones to test spectroscopy as a measure of tropical forest chemical composition. If successful, the results will be scaled up by applying the same method to satellite data. Eleanor is collaborating with the European Space Agency and Google Earth Engine to create a publicly available map of tropical forest carbon absorption in Google Earth Engine that can be used by scientists and policymakers. In 2016, she completed an MSc in Environmental Change and Management at Oxford with distinction. She also has worked as a research scholar at Northern Arizona University, USA, using drones to remotely measure tropical leaf traits.
