Identify tropical regions inherent problems related to remote sensing data acquisition and processing (cloudiness, lack of infrastructure...) and propose solutions. 2. Review the potential and limitations of remote sensing and develop remote sensing applications for studying and monitoring tropical environments (mangrove, tropical wetlands, suburban areas...) and for specific issues found in tropical areas (epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, deforestation monitoring, topography through rain forest canopy...) 3. Implement ground measurements to improve the understanding of sensor responses on tropical ecosystems http://www.isprs.org/
