Overview

Roberta E. Martin is affiliated with Arizona State University in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with an emphasis on ecology, global and planetary change, and nature and landscape conservation.

Their work spans multiple specific subfields, including ecological modeling and oceanography. Martin's research topics cover coral and marine ecosystems, remote sensing applications in agriculture, species distribution relative to climate change, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, ecology and vegetation dynamics, marine and coastal plant biology, and plant water relations and carbon dynamics.

Frequent publication venues for Martin include Remote Sensing, Zenodo hosted by CERN, Remote Sensing of Environment, Frontiers in Marine Science, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Martin has collaborated repeatedly with several co-authors, most notably with Gregory P. Asner, Nicholas R. Vaughn, David Knapp, Alexander Shenkin, and Lisa Patrick Bentley.

Among their recent papers are the following:

  • "NASA's surface biology and geology designated observable: A perspective on surface imaging algorithms," 2021, Remote Sensing of Environment
  • "Leaf reflectance spectra capture the evolutionary history of seed plants," 2020, New Phytologist
  • "Active restoration accelerates the carbon recovery of human-modified tropical forests," 2020, Science
  • "Pantropical modelling of canopy functional traits using Sentinel-2 remote sensing data," 2020, Remote Sensing of Environment
  • "Functional susceptibility of tropical forests to climate change," 2022, Nature Ecology & Evolution
