Our People
Darren Ghent
Senior Research Fellow
EO Data-Model Evaluation
Research interests
Has an interest in thermal remote sensing and land-atmosphere interactions. Works on land surface temperature retrievals, validation and exploitation, including for climate science and heat-related resilience. This involves leading several international projects and work on the next generation of satellite missions for land surface temperature.
