Anna Schweiger
Anna is an Assistant Professor at Montana State University in Land Resources and Environmental Sciences. Her work is all about remote sensing of biodiversity. Currently, her research focusses on the association between plant spectra, plant form and function, biodiversity metrics that can be remotely sensed and their potential to integrate biological, spatial, and temporal scales. She is also interested in mapping plant traits and functional groups, plant species and disease to support ecosystem management, restoration, and protection. Anna completed her Ph.D. at the University of Zurich in the Remote Sensing Lab and completed post docs at the University of Minnesota in the Dept. of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior and at the University of Montréal in Québec as part of the Canadian Biodiversity Observatory (CABO).
