Wilfrid Laurier University
Remote Sensing Of Environmental Change Laboratory
This facility generated baseline and time-sensitive data on lake ice, snow cover, land cover to support the development of statistical modeling and machine learning of the relationship between ice extent, environmental drivers, and water quality, the response of lakes to contemporary and projected climate conditions research of emerging spectrum of environmental issues throughout cold regions, applying remote sensing methods and mathematical modeling.
