In other words, Han's working on how to get out the data that can be used for things like foliar (leaf) chemical mapping, forest inventory and even Kyoto reporting as well as forest species classification.

"Recently, we produced a high accuracy, 90% correct, forest species map for coastal forests using satellite data," says Han.

The Pacific Forestry Centre Graduate Student Award, in addition to $5000 in funding, provides gifted students an opportunity to work with leading-edge scientists doing vital forest-related research in areas such as biodiversity, entomology, pathology and monitoring.

"This opportunity to work with Dr. Goodenough has been a real encouragement for me to pursue my study and research in hyperspectral remote sensing for forestry applications" says Han who hails originally from Tianjin, the third largest city in China.
