Adriana Parra recently joined Space and Astronomy as a CSIRO Early Research Career
(CERC) Fellow. Adirana is from Colombia, where she completed my
undergrad studies and a master's degree in Earth Science. She then
moved to the USA to pursue a PhD degree in Ecology, Evolution and
Conservation Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. Before
joining CSIRO, she had the opportunity to participate in a
postdoctoral position at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California
(USA). Her main research interest focuses on monitoring Land Cover
change using remote sensing information and evaluating the derived
effects of these changes on ecosystem services. In her role as a CERC
Fellow, she will be working in the Centre for Earth Observation on
monitoring ecosystem extent using multisource remote sensing data,
particularly SAR (synthetic aperture radar) imagery, and on estimating
biophysical parameters and 3D vegetation structure of the Great
Western Woodland. Her work at CSIRO will be connected to the
international efforts of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites
Ecosystem Extent Task Team.
