She is also interested in mapping invasive species cover (e.g. Phragmites), creating geospatial data to map habitat (e.g. for shorebirds), and testing\/applying newer remote sensing methods (e.g. deep learning). Alexandra earned a PhD in Earth and Environmental Sciences from University of New Hampshire\u2019s (Durham, NH) Natural Resources &amp; Earth Systems Science PhD program in 2021, as well as a M.S. in Geology and a B.S. in Environmental Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY) in 2015. Alexandra\u2019s previous work related to her dissertation explored how UAS and close-range remote sensing techniques can be used to improve river ecological assessment and restoration \u2013 particularly surrounding dam management decisions such as dam removal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexandra Evans uses remote sensing techniques (UAS, plane, and satellite) to examine historical changes in and predictors of land cover change in coastal systems, particularly on barrier islands.
