In addition to the Principal Duties and Responsibilities listed below, the successful candidate will also carry out the following duties specific to this project:
* Develop and implement machine learning classification and deep learning feature detection algorithms to analyse terrestrial LiDAR and aerial drone data.
* Apply remote sensing techniques to quantify ecosystem services using advanced tree ecosystem service valuation tools.
* Conduct field surveys and collect ground truth samples using handheld GPS for model validation and accuracy assessment.
* Develop high-resolution base layers using survey results for further analysis.
* Collaborate with interdisciplinary research teams to design and execute research projects and experiments.
* Contribute to the preparation of research reports, scientific papers, and presentations for conferences and other relevant forums.
* Stay current on emerging trends and developments in remote sensing, machine learning, and ecosystem services research.
