My current scientific interests include: land surface processes & climate science; remote sensing & 'atmospheric correction of orbital imaging data'; Mars, planetary science & astrobiology; computer vision & data mining.

My current/recent collaborations include: the CROPP (Climate Resilience and fOod Production in Peru) project, the SPLICE (Structure, Photosynthesis, and Light In Canopy Environments) project, the WCSSP China Next Generation Cities project, the Global Carbon Budget project, LANDWISE (LAND Management in lowland catchments for Integrated flood riSk rEduction), JLMP (Joint Land Modelling Programme) project of the UK, the Cocoa and Climate group at the U. of Reading, the WCSSP Brazil ACCLIMATE (ACcess to Climate data) project, PORCELAIN (PORtrayal of ChinesE Land Atmosphere INteractions) project, TAMSAT (Tropical Applications of Meteorology using SATellite data and ground-based observations), NCAS, NCAS CMS (Computational Modelling Services), and the Land Surface Processes research cluster at the University of Reading. I am also interested in modeling land-surface processes and climate on Mars-like planets.
