Lindsay Darling studies urban forests and green spaces, using tools like satellite and LiDAR (laser-based) remote sensing to map trees, detect invasive plants, and track changes in tree cover over time. This work often connects urban tree canopy patterns to questions of equity, biodiversity, and ecosystem services (benefits nature provides to people, such as cooling and carbon storage) in cities like Chicago.
