She started working for the IRSS lab as a Worklearn student in Fall 2021, where she provides assistance to a variety of research. She is currently in the third year of her undergraduate degree in Natural Resources Conservation with a focus on Science and Management. Her passion for the natural world, especially for the Sierra Nevada forests near her home, led her to study in the Faculty of Forestry at the University of British Columbia. His other interests include woodworking, speaker design and acoustics, and playing and listening to music.Ĭhloe is originally from Nevada in the United States, where she grew up hiking and camping across Nevada and California. He enjoys competing as a part of the UBC men’s Ultimate Team and coaching young athletes in the sport of alpine skiing.
Outside of school and work, Levi can often be found outdoors riding his bike. Excited by the opportunity to merge his passions for forested environments and technology, Levi stayed on as a Research Assistant after the summer was over in order to continue his research using optical imaging CubeSat-constellation data to detect forest disturbances. Levi got his first real taste of remote sensing as a summer Worklearn student for the IRSS. He would later pivot to the school’s Faculty of Science where he pursues a Major in Physics. His passion for the outdoors and a curiosity for how our species interfaces with the environment drew him to the Faculty of Forestry at the University of British Columbia, where he started his undergraduate degree in the Forest Sciences program. Levi is a Vancouver local who spent many of his days growing up skiing on the North Shore. She is a coffee fanatic and also enjoys reading a good book. In her spare time, Brianne loves to ski, hike, camp, and run. Brianne is currently working on a project that involves analyzing snow dynamics within the boundaries of provincial parks in British Columbia, and using inter-annual trends over the last few decades to see how this has impacted local winter activities, such as skiing and snowboarding. She joined the IRSS as a Work Learn student in May 2021 with an interest in learning more about remote sensing, geospatial analysis, and the forest sciences.
This led her to the Integrated Remote Sensing Studio. Throughout various courses and co-op terms during her degree, Brianne has come to realize that her passion lies in using mathematical and computational approaches for applications in environmental studies and forestry. It is for this reason that she is pursuing a Bachelors of Science, majoring in Physics, here at the University of British Columbia. This has instilled in her a passion for the outdoors and an interest in knowing how the world works and has come to be. *Specific Treaty 6, 7, and 8, First Nations are: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation.Brianne is originally from Surrey, British Columbia, and when she was younger, spent a lot of her time camping and exploring along the coast of British Columbia and the United States with her family.
We see value in gathering as community and are reminded of the responsibility we have to one another. We respect the histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose presence continues to enrich our vibrant community. HREBA respectfully acknowledges that we are situated on traditional territory of the Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8 First Nations* home to Métis Settlements, the Métis Nation of Alberta, and Regions 2, 3 and 4 within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations and whose presence continues to enrich our community.
