Research combines LiDAR, multispectral imaging, and field measurements to quantify fire impacts on tree mortality, forest structure, and regeneration patterns. Current projects include developing remote sensing protocols for assessing fire-induced tree mortality, evaluating drought-fire interactions on conifer recovery, and mapping wildfire risk in Mediterranean landscapes. His methods advance precision forestry applications through improved inventory techniques and mortality prediction models.
