John E. S.

PhD Student - Fully funded Applying Remote Sensing, Machine Learning, Image Processing, Machine Vision, Data Science, and Software Engineering expertise to the study of natural resources with an emphasis on groundwater and surface water hydrology. Products & Deliverables ================ 1. GRIME-AI Fixed-mount cameras offer a practical solution for environmental monitoring, enabling direct measurements and observations of ecohydrological processes. Their widespread availability contrasts with the limited control over satellite launches. Despite the vast collection of environmental images, many remain underutilized. GRIME-AI enhances the scientific application of these images through advanced image processing and machine learning techniques, focusing on ecohydrological research. 2.
