Raja Ram Aryal is a PhD candidate at The University of Queensland. His research focused on improving the 3D structure required for Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence retrieval through a 3D radiative transfer model when monitoring the productivity of Australian forest vegetation across Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) supersites.
As an undergrad in Nepal, he studied forestry science and graduated in Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics in Germany. He has worked in the Forest Research and Training Centre under the Ministry of Forest and Environment, Government of Nepal, since 2007. Developing Activity data (Deforestation and Forest Degradation Map) and Emission data (Forest Inventory) required for the Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) program implemented in Nepal.
Project Title: Solar Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) for plant health/stress and productivity remote sensing applications
