Staff profile

Dr Karen Anderson, College of Life and Environmental Sciences

I am a lecturer in remote sensing and began working at the Cornwall Campus when it first opened (2004), and it has been amazing to see the site evolve so rapidly. Most of my current research is focussed on how remote sensing data can be used for environmental applications. I currently lead two funded projects where I supervise postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers - the first uses close-range remote sensing methods for soil science applications and the second is focussed on the eco-hydrology of lowland peatlands. I like getting out in the field to collect new data, and working internationally on research projects (currently I collaborate with colleagues in Switzerland and at NASA). I enjoy the interactions I have with undergraduate and MSc students in lectures, tutorials and field classes - this year I am leading a fieldclass to Western California which is really exciting.

Cornwall is a fantastic place to work and live. I take every opportunity to go to the beach on summer evenings.
