The Spera Lab studies landscape-level human-environment interactions. We are interested in what drives our decisions to change land cover and land use, and what the environmental consequences of these changes are. To answer these questions, we use a variety of methods, including remotely-sensed data analysis, climate modelling, GIS, and spatial statistics.
We're Hiring a Research assistant!
