Ik ben een wetenschapper gespecialiseerd in teledetectie van vegetatie met satellitieten. Mijn onderzoek richt zich op de rol van planten in de energie-, water- en koolstofkringloop op aarde. Ik ontwikkel modellen die satellietsignalen simuleren en deze koppelen aan fysische en chemische processen in de vegetatie. Een voorbeeld hiervan is het model SCOPE ('Soil-Canopy Observation of Photosynthesis and Energy fluxes'), dat gebruikt wordt door producenten en gebruikers van satellietdata van Solar Induced Chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), optische en thermische satellietmissies. In 2023 werd ik erkend als een veel geciteerd onderzoeker in het 'cross field domain' vanwege de publicatie van meerdere artikelen in de top 1% van verschillende wetenschappelijke disciplines. De software die ik heb ontwikkeld is open source, zie deze repository:https://github.com/christiaanvandertol
