Dr. He YinEmail: hyin3@kent.edu
I am an Assistant Professor and the Principal Investigator of the SensLand Lab, at the Kent State University. I am interested in utilizing remote sensing and geospatial techniques for environmental monitoring and assessment with a strong focus on land use and land cover change. I obtained my PhD degree in Geography at the Humboldt University of Berlin. I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Bonn.
I enjoy cooking, gardening, traveling and exploring the nature. My recent hobby is fermentation such as making kombucha and kefir. |

Corrine's research focuses on applying remote sensing and spatial analysis to landscapes of the past in order to better understand both natural and anthropogenic processes. Her dissertation work involves mining legacy data from the Landsat and Hexagon satellite programs to track the development of irrigation networks in Cambodia during the time of the Khmer Rouge. Previous studies explored the utility of geostatistical techniques to a Terminal Classic Maya site at the household scale.
