  • Remote Sensing Scientist (Remote)

    Science / Full-time

    The Role:
    Pachama is looking for an experienced remote sensing scientist to advance research and development of our core remote sensing products. This individual would work on an interdisciplinary team of scientists and machine learning and software engineers. Pachama’s ongoing development of satellite-derived products for carbon credit issuance encompasses a range of sensors and research problems. However, our highest priority is mapping annual forest carbon stocks and change with optical, radar, and lidar observations. Future work may also include mapping time since disturbance, classification of land cover/use, and detection of tree features (e.g., crown detection/segmentation) in medium to high resolution optical imagery.

    The primary areas of expertise we are seeking are preprocessing of optical and radar observations (e.g., atmospheric, BRDF, and terrain correction) and inter-sensor calibration to produce clean time series. We are seeking individuals with significant experience in this area who can define and execute a research agenda that improves the temporal fidelity of ingested satellite observations Pachama uses for quantifying forest carbon change.
