About
Prof Simon Jones
Simon Jones is Professor of Remote Sensing and the Director of the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Research Centre at RMIT University.
His research interests include:
- Biophysical remote sensing of terrestrial environments
- In situ observations (including spectral-radiometry)
- Scaling ground observations to the image and landscape level
- Spatial data uncertainty
Project leadership
This project sought to optimise the use of earth observing systems for active fire monitoring by exploring issues of scale, accuracy and reliability, and to improve the mapping and estimation of post-fire severity and fuel change through empirical remote sensing observations. A particular focus was on the analysis of data obtained from Himawari-8, which is able to provide updated imagery on a 10 minute basis.+++++
This project is part of the Black Summer research program funded by the Commonwealth Government through the 10-year extension of funding into natural hazard research in Australia.
