Sagehen Creek Field Station

05 Feb, 09 AM - 05 Feb, 11 AM

I plan to initiate discussions with the Station Director and staff to identify potential research activities I might conduct at Sagehen Basin commencing in June 2012. Potential ideas include environmental sensing system applications to habitat studies (plan and animal), high resolution remote sensing of vegetation phenology using ground based and aerial imaging and LIDAR technology, and Automated wildlife observing systems. Specific biological questions and targeted organisms will be determined following discussion with reserve staff and research investigators. I am working with an undergraduate mechanical engineering class to build prototypes of some of these potential tools, which will be initially tested at Blue Oak Ranch Reserve, but with applications to Sierra ecosystems and habitats.
