معرفی
Koreen Millard serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Carleton University. Her academic credentials include a B.A. from Bishop’s University, M.Sc. from Acadia University, and Ph.D. from Carleton University, establishing her expertise in geospatial sciences and environmental monitoring.
Her research sits at the critical intersection of geomatics, physical geography, and big data science, with core focus areas including ecosystem monitoring, extraction of biophysical parameters from remotely sensed imagery, and rigorous assessment of bias and uncertainty in landscape analysis. By integrating field-based monitoring with advanced remote sensing techniques, her work unravels complex hydrological, vegetation, and climate interactions in wetlands and northern ecosystems—particularly emphasizing peatland wildfire dynamics and ecosystem responses to environmental change. Recent publications demonstrate sophisticated application of time-series analysis using SAR and multispectral imagery to map peatland conditions and wildfire susceptibility across the Canadian Boreal Forest.
Analysis of her publication trends reveals dominant methodological themes: advanced processing of Sentinel-1 and RADARSAT data for wetland mapping, development of machine learning approaches for global peatland extent modeling (Peat-ML), and innovative spatio-temporal frameworks for surface water and wildfire risk assessment. Her work consistently bridges polarimetric SAR analysis with ecological questions, particularly regarding carbon-rich peatland systems vulnerable to climate change impacts.
