Koreen Millard
Professor, Geography and Environmental Studies at Carleton University
Email: koreen_millard@carleton.ca
Millard’s research sits at a crossroads between geomatics, physical geography and big data science. She focuses on ecosystem monitoring using remotely sensed imagery. By coupling remote sensing with extensive monitoring in the field, her research helps detangle hydrological, vegetation and climate interactions so that we can better predict the responses of wetlands, northern ecosystems, and other vulnerable areas to change and wildfires.
