John Schalles
Creighton Investigator
Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER
I use satellite and aerial remote sensing (including drones) to investigate spatial and temporal patterns of phytoplankton and wetlands in coastal environments. My work with the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER includes recent documentation of long-term declines (35 years) in salt marsh above ground biomass and health using Landsat imagery. My group has linked these patterns to climate and hydrologic changes on the Georgia coast.
