About:
Shiva Pariyar is a PhD student from Nepal. He holds a Master's degree in Forest Ecosystem Science, obtained from the University of Melbourne in Australia in 2016. He also earned a B.Sc. (Forestry) in 2010 from Tribhuvan University in Nepal. With a professional background, Shiva has served as a Forest Officer for the Nepal government since 2010.
Commencing his PhD journey in June 2023, Shiva is enthusiastic about his research focus: Assessment of Eucalyptus Defoliation using Remote Sensing. He is working under the guidance of Vega Xu, Steve Pawson, Justin Morgenroth, and Ning Ye. Shiva's research centers on the utilization of cutting-edge remote sensing technologies, including uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral image, UAV LiDAR, and Sentinel-2 imagery to quantify, map and monitor defoliation at the individual tree and the broader scales. He plans to work on developing a novel approach for collecting ground truth data, investigating Eucalyptus resistance to defoliation, and scaling up in-situ studies conducted at the tree-level to encompass the broader scope of stand and landscape. Additionally, he is investigating temporal changes in defoliation using dense time series satellite imagery.
