Characterizing Exoplanet Atmospheres: From Light-curve Observations to Radiative-Transfer Modeling
… estimators for exoplanet light-curve modeling, and assesses their applicability and limitations to estimate parameters uncertainties. I show that the residual-permutation method is unsound for estimating parameter uncertainties. The time-averaging and the wavelet-based likelihood …

Radiative transfer modeling of thermal infrared emissivity spectra: applications to martian regolith observations
… gap in significant advances. To date, no radiative transfer model (semiempirical, exact, or hybrid solution) has been able to adequately predict the nadir emissivity behavior of simple mineral assemblages. Few measurements have been attempted in the laboratory or field regarding …

Midlatitude thermospheric wind and temperature: networked Fabry-Perot interferometer observations and radiative transfer modeling
… commonly measured during the main phase. Using radiative transfer modeling, we show that these vertical winds are not real, and instead are artifacts of the scattering of airglow radiation in the lower atmosphere. This is the likely explanation for the large midlatitude vertical winds and …

Parameterizing the Dust Around Herbig Ae/Be Stars: Multiwavelength Imaging, Radiative Transfer Modeling, and Near-Infrared Instrumentation
In order to advance the imaging capabilities available for observations of Herbig Ae/Be stars, I have participated in the development of the WIYN High Resolution Infrared Camera. The instrument operates in the near-infrared (∼0.8 -- 2.5 mum), includes 13 filters, and has a pixel size of …

Radiative Transfer in the Martian Environment: In-Situ Results from the MSL Curiosity Rover and Laboratory Experimentation on Martian Regolith and Crystalline Rock Analogs
… planetary boundary layer within Gale Crater. Radiative transfer modeling of the martian atmosphere benefits from this quantification of low-lying dust. This dissertation aims to expand our knowledge of the radiation environment of Mars into its surface and subsurface. The scattering of …

Towards high fidelity mapping of global inland water quality using earth observation data
… and validate robust retrieval algorithms. Radiative transfer modeling was used to fill this gap through the development of a novel synthetic dataset of top-of-atmosphere and bottom-of-atmosphere reflectances, which attempts to encompass the immense natural optical variability present in …

Rivers Hydromorphological Characterization from High Resolution Remotely Sensed Data
… and management applications including habitat modeling and river restoration. High resolution satellite imagery (HRSI) has recently emerged as potentially powerful means of mapping riverine environments. This research aims to develop advanced methodologies for processing HRSI to map and …

Informing on Crop Water-Use, Stress, and Growth with Integrated Satellite Remote Sensing and Modeling
… the growing season. This was verified with a radiative transfer model, which modeled backscatter from each crop-type to understand the salient crop features that influenced SAR response. Modeled backscatter from a wheat, rice, and corn canopy were combined with Sentinel-1A backscatter to …

Remote sensing of ion-neutral charge exchange and diffusive transport in planetary atmospheres
… empirical constraints on the momentum and energy transfer between these key species. This thesis also presents a new technique to estimate atomic H density [H], and H+ flux φH+, in Earth’s thermosphere and exosphere, using empirical constraints on H+ mass conservation (continuity) driven by the …
