Sarah Lewis
INTERESTS
I am a 5th year PhD candidate in the Kelly Research and Outreach Lab at UC Berkeley. My research explores how remote sensing and GIS technologies can shed light on evolving and predicted trends in land change science. Specifically, I am interested in how geospatial strategies can optimize the placement of cellulosic biofuels in marginal landscapes. Advancements in biofuel technologies will result in a reshaping of the landscape, and will depend on a combination of physical and economic factors. My research questions are all inherently spatial and can best be answered through a suite of geospatial approaches.
