Martha J Ledger, postdoctoral researcher
I am a postdoctoral fellow within the Biodiversity and Environmental Change Lab at HKU using remote sensing techniques to characterise habitat change in tropical ecosystems.
More broadly, I am interested in the application of remote sensing, earth observation (EO), big data and machine learning to answer questions surrounding environmental, ecological and social issues. My PhD work investigated the use InSAR for monitoring tropical peatland subsidence patterns. Since then, I have had broader experience in other roles using a variety of EO techniques to model permafrost degradation and subsidence, monitor changes in subtropical forest structure, as well as develop a global forced labour risk model. I am always looking for innovative ways to apply EO to solve global problems!
