Integrating field measurements with remote sensing to monitor ecosystem carbon exchange

Dr. Rogers’ research focuses on linking measurements from earth observation platforms to photosynthesis on the ground in order to better understand, map, and monitor carbon exchange between ecosystems and the atmosphere. She joined the department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University as an Assistant Professor in January 2024, after Postdoctoral research at the McMaster Remote Sensing Lab led by Dr. Alemu Gonsamo. Dr. Rogers holds an M.Sc. in Natural Resource Science from McGill University and a Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Toronto. Her work involves characterizing spatial and temporal variability in vegetation structure, function, and physiology across scales ranging from individual leaves and ecosystems, to the global Earth system. Her work is motivated by a desire to contribute to solving the challenges posed by climate change, in hopes that we can better monitor, predict, and mitigate the impact of this global threat.
