Abstract
Earth observation and geospatial datasets are providing a unique synoptic view of the Earth system with time series spanning the decadal time scale. As datasets are rapidly increasing in number and a host of new use cases have found their way in multiple fields. In this talk, I provide a brief survey of research applications in socio-environmental systems along with some of the latest methods developed in my research. Some of the topics include land change and fire, climate interpolation, climate variability, spatial epidemiology and urban expansion.
