Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem
  • Remote sensing

His primary areas of investigation include Remote sensing, Lidar, Tree canopy, Vegetation and Canopy. He combines subjects such as Natural forest, Urban vegetation and Local scale with his study of Remote sensing. The concepts of his Lidar study are interwoven with issues in Basal area, Biomass, Deciduous, Thematic Mapper and Altimeter.

Michael A. Lefsky has included themes like Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and Atmospheric sciences in his Biomass study. His Altimeter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Percentile, Satellite imagery and Earth science. His Vegetation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Regression analysis, Backscatter and Scale.

His most cited work include:

  • Lidar Remote Sensing for Ecosystem Studies (1329 citations)
  • Benchmark map of forest carbon stocks in tropical regions across three continents. (1257 citations)
  • Lidar Remote Sensing of the Canopy Structure and Biophysical Properties of Douglas-Fir Western Hemlock Forests (720 citations)

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

Michael A. Lefsky mainly investigates Remote sensing, Lidar, Canopy, Biomass and Altimeter. His studies deal with areas such as Terrain, Tree canopy, Forest inventory, Transect and Vegetation as well as Remote sensing. His Lidar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sampling, Regression analysis, Spatial distribution and Earth science.

His Canopy research incorporates themes from Western Hemlock, Forestry, Basal area and Leaf area index. His Biomass research includes themes of Temperate climate, Atmospheric sciences, Carbon cycle, Physical geography and Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The Altimeter study which covers Mean squared error that intersects with Cross-validation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (57.30%)
  • Lidar (60.67%)
  • Canopy (33.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Remote sensing (57.30%)
  • Lidar (60.67%)
  • Canopy (33.71%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Remote sensing, Lidar, Canopy, Biomass and Biogeosciences. His work blends Remote sensing and Complex field studies together. His Lidar research integrates issues from Transect and Ecosystem.

His work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Regression analysis, Amazon rainforest, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Interspecific competition. He has researched Canopy in several fields, including Altimeter, Thematic Mapper, Satellite imagery and Basal area. His work in Biomass tackles topics such as Physical geography which are related to areas like Gap dynamics, Spatial variability and Climate change.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Review of studies on tree species classification from remotely sensed data (287 citations)
  • A flexible spatiotemporal method for fusing satellite images with different resolutions (177 citations)
  • Structural Dynamics of Tropical Moist Forest Gaps. (38 citations)
