GEOG Seminar 4/27: Jill Deines, "Monitoring Agriculture and Climate Adaptation Using Earth Observation"

Join us for our weekly seminar this Thursday, April 27 from 3:45-5pm via Zoom! Dr. Jillian Deines at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will discuss the use of Earth observation in agriculture and climate adaptation.

Speaker Bio:

Dr. Jillian Deines is an Earth scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), who uses Earth Observation and advanced spatial tools to analyze a broad range of topics around agriculture, sustainable land use, water management and climate security. Prior to PNNL, Dr. Deines was a postdoctoral scholar at the Center on Food Security and the Environment in the Stanford Department of Earth System Science, working with Prof. David Lobell. She specializes in applying statistical and modeling techniques to take satellite data from bits to dynamic maps to process-based understanding, with a goal to inform effective management. Her work was part of the NASA Harvest multidisciplinary consortium to support food security efforts and agricultural decision-making in the US and around the globe. Jill holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Geosciences from Michigan State University, a M.S. in Biology from the University of Notre Dame, and a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Saint Louis University.
