Research Projects
Our lab undertakes a diverse range of research projects that address pressing ecological and environmental challenges. From assessing forest fire impacts and mapping biodiversity to modeling species distributions and exploring nature-based solutions in urban landscapes, our work combines field studies with advanced geospatial technologies. These projects not only contribute to scientific understanding but also inform policy and conservation practices at regional and national levels.
