About ME
Who Am I?
I’m Atticus Stovall — a remote sensing scientist and forest ecologist working at the intersection of ecology, technology, and data science.
My research focuses on understanding the structure and function of forest ecosystems using 3D tools like terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and airborne LiDAR. I’m especially interested in uncovering how forests respond to disturbance and using detailed structural data for improving models of ecosystem change, resilience, and carbon dynamics.
How I Got Here
The complexity of forests have always fascinated me — the way individual trees grow, compete, and form living structures at large scales. Over time, I’ve come to see remote sensing not just as a set of tools, but as a way of seeing: translating ecosystems into data we can work with, model, and share.
Through field campaigns, global plot networks, and advanced analytics, I aim to produce research that’s rigorous and usable — by scientists, land managers, and policy leaders.
