Research interests

Dr Dash has a strong research background in pure and applied remote sensing, particularly in algorithm development and validation of biophysical products from EO data, spatio-temporal analysis of EO data to understand the state of the world’s ecosystems and to study the impact of climate change on the ecosystem. He was awarded the COSPAR & Russian Academy of Science Zeldovich Medal for 2012.

His current research focuses on

Satellite derived land surface phenology and its validation with ground data.
Developing a chlorophyll content based production efficiency model to quantify terrestrial carbon uptake.
Impact of extreme climatic events on vegetation phenology.
Long term monitoring and impact of climate and anthropogenic pressure on agricultural productivity in South Asian countries using space time data analysis.
Land product development and validation for ESA Sentinel 2 and 3 mission.

Research projects

MERIS extended validation and exploratory approach for high resolution optical sensors (ESA
Characterisation of the phenology detection threshold for environmental change detection and monitoring (TSB)
Sentinel 3 products and algorithm definition (ARGANS)
Validation of the ENVISAT MTCI geophysical product (ESA)
