Abhirup Dikshit is a geospatial ecohydrologist using advanced remote sensing tools and machine learning models to monitor vegetation health and function in the face of climate change, land use, and other major disturbance events.

Abhirup’s Ph.D. was on examining large-scale soil-vegetation-climate interactions and processes with remotely sensed measurements from satellites under the mentorship of Prof. Biswajeet Pradhan & Prof. Alfredo Huete. Here, he received valuable professional mentoring in ecology, machine learning applications, and remote sensing to conduct research on ecological resilience, geospatial modeling, and environmental monitoring. He specializes in the use of next-generation geostationary satellites to examine extreme dry events, vegetation dynamics, and flash droughts to better understand Australia's ecosystems.
