Dr Dar Roberts is a Professor in Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara where he has served since 1994. He is the UCSB Principal Investigator of the Southern California Wildfire Hazard Center and leads the group in developing wildfire fuels maps and mapping fuel moisture using remote sensing. He is best known for developing the concept of Multiple Endmember Spectral Mixture Analysis (MESMA), and pioneering work in hyperspectral remote sensing, including mapping plant species. Research interests include imaging spectrometry, remote sensing of vegetation, spectroscopy (urban and natural cover), land-use/land-cover change mapping, sensor fusion (including thermal), remote sensing of wildfire and trace gasses such as methane. He has worked extensively with passive optical sensors such as imaging spectrometry and active sensors, such as LiDAR. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and has authored of over 225 refereed publications and 15 books/book chapters.
