Welcome! Tongasoa!

I am Ny Aina, pronounced as [Ni-aaina]. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working with Dr. Hamed Gholizadeh in the Department of Geography at Oklahoma State University. My research focuses on using remote sensing coupled with in situ observations and modeling to address ecological questions. I am particularly interested in assessing the capability of imaging spectroscopy in answering ecological questions, such as biological invasions. My ongoing research centers on using imaging spectroscopy to detect invasive plants and assess their impacts on aboveground and belowground ecosystem characteristics in grassland ecosystems. I am always open to collaborations, discussions, or simply connecting, so please feel free to contact me at ny_aina.rakotoarivony@okstate.edu.
