Karyn Tabor

Betty and  Gordon Moore Center for Science and Oceans , Conservation International

Karyn's research focus is on assessing the effects of climate change on ecosystems and human well-being and utilizing the near real-time monitoring capabilities of satellite remote sensing to inform land use planning and management strategies. In this project she will co-lead two work packages involving analysis of satellite data for historical land use trends and comparing how past policies may have influenced those trends.

Jenny Hewson

Betty and  Gordon Moore Center for Science and Oceans , Conservation International

Jenny’s research focuses on monitoring changes in ecosystem extent and condition using remote sensing technologies, especially remote sensing methods for improved deforestation detection, land use change, and habitat condition. Jenny concentrates on Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) activities and the development of national forest monitoring systems for REDD+. In this project she will co-lead two work packages to develop the sampling design for the project, and assess carbon storage impacts resulting from different land use change scenarios
