Brady S. Hardiman studies forest structure and function, using tools like LiDAR (laser-based remote sensing) to measure how the physical complexity of forest canopies relates to tree growth, carbon storage, and responses to disturbances such as disease and defoliation. More recent work extends into urban environments, examining how tree canopy cover affects local temperature, cooling costs, and carbon dioxide emissions in cities. This research is relevant to students interested in forest ecology, remote sensing methods, and the environmental benefits of vegetation in both natural and urban settings.
Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with a peak in 2018 and 2023, but has remained fairly steady overall, averaging about 7 papers per year over the last five years.
