YC (Yonah) Berger Barnett

I specialise in applying remote sensing and machine learning tools to questions in ecosystem ecology and natural resource management. What started as a profound academic interest in ecosystem functioning expanded to encompass the application of data science in ecological contexts. My combined academic and professional background has allowed me to develop a strong foundation of both scientific knowledge and practical skills.

Key Strengths:
- Ecological Theory & Research: Understanding of ecosystem functions and processes, with a focus on innovative research methodologies and practical applications.
- Data Science & Technical Skills: Proficient in machine learning, coding, GIS, and remote sensing, with expertise in photogrammetry, object-based image analysis, and statistical modeling.
- Applied Innovation: Enthusiastic about leveraging technical tools to create visually compelling and scientifically rigorous products that aid in mapping, monitoring, and natural resource management.

I am enthusiastic about the intersection of ecology and technology, and I strive to develop data-driven solutions for environmental challenges. My goal is to push the boundaries of ecological research and practical applications, fostering innovation and informed decision-making in natural resource management and ecological restoration.
