Kathryn Sheffield
Dr Kathryn Sheffield is an Australian scientist working in the fields of satellite remote sensing, GIS, land cover mapping, agricultural productivity, landscape scale monitoring working in the Victorian Department of Environment and Primary Industries.
Education and career
Dr Sheffield gained her Bachelor of Environmental Science (honours) from Deakin University 2002. She was awarded a PhD from School of Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences, RMIT 2009. She worked on an Australian Research Council Linkage Grant examining multi-spectral remote sensing of native vegetation condition.
Current work
As of 2014, Dr Sheffield works as a research scientist (remote sensing) in the Spatial Information Sciences group within the Agriculture Research & Development division of the Department of Environment and Primary Industries, Victoria.[1]
Her areas of work at that time included: - The Victorian Land Use Information System,[2] which won both the 7th Victorian and Asia Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards in 2011, for Spatially Enabled Government, - Using satellite data to improve irrigation water management,[3] and - Soil moisture mapping in high rainfall zones of Victoria using radar imagery.
