In April a team of NASA scientists traveled to Puerto Rico with airborne instrumentation to survey damages from Hurricane Maria to the island’s forests. Watch it on the link below:
New remote sensing technologies allow for an unprecedented approach to quantify the damage of hurricanes on tropical forests. Prof. Uriarte is collaborating with NASA researchers on a project using high resolution Lidar imagery to quantify the damage of hurricane Maria on Puerto Rican forests at very fine scales..

NY Times journalist Henry Fountain traveled to Puerto Rico to cover the research conducted by the Uriarte Lab on the impacts of hurricane Maria on Puerto Rican Forests. He followed our group for one week to document our efforts to quantify and understand the extent of the damage that these extremes events have on tropical forests.
