Techniques developed
Thermal ImageryDynamic Leaf Energy BalanceThe aim of this technique was to rethink the current methodology surrounding the processing of thermograms and derive temporal responses of stomatal conductance using dynamic energy balance equations.

Dual thermal-fluorescence ImagerImaging of Intrinsic Water-Use EfficiencyInstrumentation and methods for rapid screening and selection of plants with improved water use efficiency are essential to address current issues of global food and fuel security. We developed a new imaging system that combines chlorophyll fluorescence and thermal imagery to generate images of carbon assimilation rate, stomatal conductance, and intrinsic water use efficiency from leaves and even whole plants, under controlled environmental conditions.
