Research & Current Projects

Adrian Fisher is a geographer with the Joint Remote Sensing Research Program (JRSRP), based in the Centre for Ecosystem Science (CES). He is funded by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) to conduct remote sensing research, collaborating with researchers from the University of Queensland, OEH, CES, and the Queensland Department of Science, Information Technology and Innovation (DSITI). His research mainly involves large area mapping of vegetation structure, using satellite and airborne data, though he is also interested in using remote sensing data to examine the geomorphic evolution of Australia’s deserts.

Current projects include:

• Developing methods to use satellite imagery, airborne lidar and airborne digital imagery to map tree cover over large areas.
• Examining different ways of measuring vegetation structure, using field methods and airborne lidar data.
• Using multi-temporal satellite data to examine environmental change in Australia's desert landscapes.
