Isaac studies the use of remote sensing for monitoring plant health. His research focuses on using multispectral imagery to track the progression and geographic distribution of bur oak blight, a fungal infection that exclusively afflicts bur oak trees. He uses statistical methods in R to establish connections between spectral data and on-the-ground blight surveys. After graduation, Isaac hopes to continue using GIS for ecological applications and to make geospatial data communicable to the public.
