On co-op with an environmental consulting firm in Vancouver, Canada, called ESSA Technologies, Northeastern University senior Emily Snead tested remote-sensing tools that will be used to pinpoint the impact of climate change on forest life.
The experiential learning opportunity has convinced Snead to pursue a master’s degree in remote sensing. The technology allows researchers to collect geospatial data — including information on soil and vegetation, fault zones and temperature changes over time —using electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or satellites.
