Throwing Shade: Characterizing Historical Urban Canopy Cover Change in Two Post-industrial Cities
Healy studies urban canopy cover change at the municipal level by analyzing aerial imagery paired with local social, economic, and political histories, to uncover legacies that have led to present-day urban tree canopy conditions. His research will offer municipalities and urban forestry professionals a method to utilize historical datasets in management decision making.
