Brian Lee

Brian is a landscape ecologist who uses remote sensing fusion and machine learning to quantify ecosystem services within working lands, with research interests spanning carbon stocks in plantation forests to insecticide use in agriculture. His work is motivated by a desire to better understand how landscapes change over time and how data-driven science can support more sustainable land management. Before coming to Boulder, he received his PhD at UC Santa Barbara's Bren School, his master's degree at Yale's School of the Environment, and also spent time at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Rwanda. At Boulder, he is excited to build collaborations around climate resilience, ecosystem services, and applied environmental data science.
