Overview

Renaud Mathieu is affiliated with the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and focuses primarily on environmental science. Their research spans several main topics and subfields, including environmental engineering, global and planetary change, ecology, plant science, and nature and landscape conservation.

Within these areas, Mathieu's work extensively addresses remote sensing and LiDAR applications, remote sensing in agriculture, and forest ecology and management. They also explore fire effects on ecosystems, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) applications and techniques, rice cultivation and yield improvement, and aeolian processes and effects.

Their recent publications demonstrate consistent contributions to remote sensing and environmental monitoring fields. Notable papers include:

  • Aboveground biomass density models for NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar mission, 2022, Remote Sensing of Environment
  • First validation of GEDI canopy heights in African savannas, 2022, Remote Sensing of Environment
  • Quantifying the sensitivity of L-Band SAR to a decade of vegetation structure changes in savannas, 2022, Remote Sensing of Environment
  • Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis of a Remote-Sensing-Based Penman-Monteith Model to Meteorological and Land Surface Input Variables, 2021, Remote Sensing
  • Evaluation of GEDI footprint level biomass models in Southern African Savannas using airborne LiDAR and field measurements, 2024, Science of Remote Sensing

Mathieu frequently collaborates with several researchers in their field. Frequent coauthors include Russell Main, Laven Naidoo, John Armston, Konrad Wessels, and Laura Duncanson.

Their work has been predominantly published in journals such as Remote Sensing of Environment, SSRN Electronic Journal, Smart Agricultural Technology, Remote Sensing, and Science of Remote Sensing. Specifically, Remote Sensing of Environment has featured at least three of their publications.
