I am an Assistant Professor in the department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University. I study the ability of remote sensing to track vegetation's ability to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 

Using signals from space that respond to:

• the quantity of vegetation on the ground, 

• the chlorophyll available in the leaves of that vegetation,  and

• how light is used by leaves 

we can better understand how plants use the light available to them to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
