Since 1995 John has worked on the development of the GreenReportŪ, which is used by the agricultural and forestry industries to monitor vegetation condition and change. He is also responsible for maintaining the High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) satellite receiving station at KARS, and the development of Sea Surface Temperature maps which are made from images received by the station. While at KARS, John has participated in other research projects including: identification of grassland treatments using close-range hyperspectral remote sensing, change detection in pheasant habitat due to CRP management decisions, analysis of chemical spray drift zones in proximity of water bodies, and several land-use/land-cover mapping projects.
