Peter R. Nelson, Ph.D
Peter studies vegetation ecology, primarily through lichens (algal/fungal symbioses). His faculty research currently focuses on imaging and scanning spectroscopy of arctic, boreal and temperate vegetation using ground-truthing, UAVs, and airplanes to improve the taxonomic precision of maps.

Catherine Chan
Catherine is a Master’s student at the University of Maine’s School of Forest Resources and is co-advised by Peter Nelson. Her project involves detection of health stress in different systems; drought stress in wild blueberry vegetation through multi-temporal observations, disease in potato fields, and vigor classification of ash trees with emerald ash borer (EAB) infestation.
