Mirela G. Tulbure is an Associate Professor in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at North Carolina State University, joining in August 2019 as a Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program cluster hire in Geospatial Analytics. She is also a member of the Center for Geospatial Analytics.
Her research focuses on surface water extent, vegetation and landscape connectivity dynamics, and their drivers of change (climate and land-use) at regional to continental scales. She integrates time-series analysis of satellite and geospatial data, spatial statistics, and graph theory-based network analysis.
Her recent work includes a 2021 Ecosphere publication on leveraging the NEON Airborne Observation Platform for socio-environmental systems research, demonstrating applications of remote sensing to complex environmental challenges.
She leads research funding initiatives including Australian Research Council and NASA grants, with recent NASA funding supporting post-doctoral and PhD positions announced in 2021.
The Geospatial Analysis for Environmental Change Lab comprises a diverse international team (Romania, Turkey, Ukraine, Germany, Australia) focused on quantifying environmental change patterns through remote sensing and spatial analysis at continental scales, with current projects on surface water networks, vegetation health, and flooding dynamics.
