Tom Lake’s paper on remote sensing of biological invasions published in Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation

Tom developed deep learning models that detect the invasive plant, leafy spurge, from publicly-available satellite images. This fine-scale level of detection opens new doors for tracking population dynamics through time and developing better distribution models. The paper was highlighted in local TV news (KARE11) and other science news outlets (AAAS, Phys.org, Biotechniques, etc).
