Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Remote sensing

Alan H. Strahler focuses on Remote sensing, Bidirectional reflectance distribution function, Albedo, Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer and Pixel. His work carried out in the field of Remote sensing brings together such families of science as Land cover, Spectroradiometer and Meteorology. His Land cover study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cartography, Thematic map, Stratified sampling, Radiometer and Vegetation.

His studies in Bidirectional reflectance distribution function integrate themes in fields like Zenith, Algorithm and Solar zenith angle. The Albedo study combines topics in areas such as Radiative transfer, Shortwave, Snow and Satellite. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Regularization, Covariance, Multispectral image and Autocorrelation.

His most cited work include:

  • Global land cover mapping from MODIS: algorithms and early results (1861 citations)
  • First operational BRDF, albedo nadir reflectance products from MODIS (1631 citations)
  • Monitoring vegetation phenology using MODIS (1612 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Remote sensing, Bidirectional reflectance distribution function, Albedo, Lidar and Land cover. His Remote sensing research includes themes of Reflectivity, Canopy, Meteorology, Vegetation and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer. His Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Radiometry.

His studies deal with areas such as Solar zenith angle, Zenith, Inversion, Nadir and Radiative transfer as well as Bidirectional reflectance distribution function. His Albedo research incorporates themes from Spectroradiometer, Surface, Satellite, Shortwave and Anisotropy. Within one scientific family, Alan H. Strahler focuses on topics pertaining to Image resolution under Land cover, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Pixel.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (77.67%)
  • Bidirectional reflectance distribution function (29.25%)
  • Albedo (20.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2019)?

  • Remote sensing (77.67%)
  • Lidar (16.04%)
  • Bidirectional reflectance distribution function (29.25%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Remote sensing, Lidar, Bidirectional reflectance distribution function, Canopy and Leaf area index. Specifically, his work in Remote sensing is concerned with the study of Zenith. His Lidar study combines topics in areas such as Point cloud, Forest structure, Echidna, Ecosystem and Laser scanning.

His Bidirectional reflectance distribution function research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Snow, Albedo and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer. His study in Canopy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Terrain and Atmospheric sciences. His study looks at the relationship between Reflectivity and fields such as Taiga, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2010 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Evaluation of MODIS albedo product (MCD43A) over grassland, agriculture and forest surface types during dormant and snow-covered periods (139 citations)
  • Measuring forest structure and biomass in New England forest stands using Echidna ground-based lidar (138 citations)
  • Global clumping index map derived from the MODIS BRDF product (131 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Optics

His primary areas of investigation include Remote sensing, Lidar, Vegetation, Bidirectional reflectance distribution function and Leaf area index. His Remote sensing research is mostly focused on the topic Zenith. He has included themes like Full waveform, Experimental forest, Forest structure, Waveform and Digital elevation model in his Lidar study.

His research integrates issues of Data modeling, Canopy, Satellite and Scale in his study of Vegetation. His Bidirectional reflectance distribution function study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Snow, Albedo, Atmospheric sciences and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Leaf area index, Gap fraction is strongly linked to Range.
