Jonathan Greenberg
Jonathan Greenberg​
Dr. Greenberg's research centers on addressing questions of the impacts of climate change and land use/land cover change on vegetated ecosystems using remote sensing data. My research ranges across scales from individual plants to the globe, across many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and utilizes state-of-the-art remote sensing imagery including hyperspectral, hyperspatial, multi-temporal, thermal, and LiDAR data.

Graduate Students


Theo Hartsook
Theo Hartsook
Theo is an MS student in the Natural Resources & Environmental Science program at the University of Nevada, Reno. He completed his B.S. in Environmental Science at Queens of Charlotte in North Carolina. His research focuses on using TLS and UAV data to assess and monitor change in Sierra Nevada forests.

Adriana Parra
Adriana Parra
​Adriana is a PhD student in the Evolution, Ecology and Conservation Biology program (EECB) at the University of Nevada, Reno. She is from Colombia, where she completed her B.S. in Environmental Engineering and her Master studies in Earth Sciences. Adriana is interested in assessing the effects of anthropogenic activities and climate change in the composition and ecological services of mangrove ecosystems.

Adriano Matos
Adriano Matos
Adriano is a Geospatial Lab Technician for the GEARS lab and received his B.S. in Environmental Science. A former student majoring in Computer Science and Computer Engineering, he switched to Environmental Science to narrow his focus on the use of geotechnologies to assess and solve problems. While still having that narrower focus, Adriano’s interests range between both fields of study.
