Development of Earth Observation based products and services for monitoring and assessment of biodiversity, habitats, cultivations, resources, and land cover/ use changes to support decisions, modeling and scenaria towards sustainability.

At the University of Maryland, I worked with Dr. Maria Zubkova and Dr. Chris Justice on land cover and land use change in conflict regions, particularly Somalia. He will use Very High Resolution (VHR) Planet Imagery to produce ground truth data through visual interpretation. He hopes this work will lead to a paper and be part of his Ph.D. dissertation.

A Weather Observer observes and records weather conditions for use in forecasting: Periodically observes general weather, sky and visibility conditions, and reads weather instruments including thermometers, barometers, and hygrometers to ascertain elements, such as temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind velocity, and precipitation. He also transmits and receives weather data from other stations over teletype machine. He may collect upper-air data on temperature, humidity, and winds, using weather balloon and radiosonde equipment. Last, but not least he may conduct pilot briefings.
