HENRIK J

I am a Physics Engineer and Associate Professor in Technology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Umeå, Sweden. I work as a researcher at SLU, and I also work as a senior researcher for the Swedish research institute Skogforsk... I am interested in remote sensing and optimizing the use of various sensors to monitor the forest. The main goal of my research is to develop new and better methods for doing so. I mostly work with satellite images (radar and optical), airborne laser scanning, and field sample data. The mapping of forest is important for the understanding of the global carbon cycle, since the forest biomass represent a large part of the carbon stored globally. My work includes e.g., estimation of forest growth, changes, and the development of methods to rapidly identify areas affected by natural damages.
