Dr. Dion K.に依頼

United States

PhD in Urban Ecology; Remote Sensing & GIS Consultant | Landsat/Sentinel Time Series, GEE, NDVI/LST, Urban Heat Risk

プロフィール概要

Do you trust the satellite data behind your decisions? I’m a PhD remote sensing/GIS scientist (~10 years GIS) who builds and audits Landsat/Sentinel workflows for decision-ready analysis. Many teams assume cross-sensor Landsat satellite time series are automatically comparable; in practice, masking, resolution, and sensor transitions can introduce non-obvious artifacts—especially for variance/covariance-driven metrics (slopes, correlations, cooling/greening diagnostics). What I do: • Landsat/Sentinel/MODIS/etc. time-series analytics (NDVI/LST), change detection, and model-ready datasets • Data continuity & QA audits for cross-sensor Landsat analyses (masking consistency, aggregation logic, statistical continuity checks) • Urban heat risk/exposure mapping, vegetation cooling diagnostics, wildfire severity & recovery, and scalable geospatial pipelines • Decision-ready GIS Analysis: Priority indices / heat risk / canopy targeting with deliverables - I can do the analysis you need. Deliverables: maps + concise technical brief (8–12 pages), GeoTIFF/GeoPackage/CSV outputs, and reproducible code your team can rerun. Typical pilots complete in 1–2 weeks on a fixed fee. To scope quickly: AOI, time window, desired outputs, and the decision question.
