<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt">Research topics include: 1) Mapping crop and soil properties using drone- and satellite-based multi-sensor images (e.g., hyperspectral, LiDAR, and thermal), agricultural machinery data, and Internet
of Things; 2) Classification of weeds and invasive species using remote sensing images; and 3) GIS analysis of crop growth status and influencing environmental factors. The position will be based at the SFU Burnaby Campus. Multiple field sites are in southern
British Columbia and southern Saskatchewan. Working closely with industry partners on field data collection and analysis is anticipated.
