Professor Mark Danson is Professor
of Environmental Remote Sensing, University of Salford and Associate Dean (Research) in the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Environment and Director of the BUHu Centre for Environmental Systems Research.
His research interests are in remote sensing of vegetation biophysical properties with an emphasis on forests, rangeland and agricultural crops. Current research being undertaken by Prof. Danson aims to develop new techniques for modelling the reflectance of vegetation canopies and in related work, the spatial modelling of landscape change. He is currently involved in funded research programmes working in China, Kazakhstan and in Europe.
He is a Member of the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society.
