Biography
Nicholas School of the Environment
Alexander (Alex) Seymour is a researcher and GIS analyst at the Duke Marine Robotics and Remote Sensing Lab (MARRS). Alex hold a Masters degree in Coastal Environmental Management from Duke University, and specializes in spatial analysis and remote sensing for the benefit of conservation and research. His work at MARRS focuses on applying traditional remote sensing analysis to data from UAS (unmanned aerial systems), and developing new techniques to maximize the advantages lent by UAS. Alex also acts as a consultant for other MARRS personnel, and designs field collection strategies to meet the accuracy and data quality goals for projects and lab clients. As an FAA-licensed remote pilot, Alex runs monitoring and survey missions while GIS models are running in the background. His publication interests include advancing and expanding UAS methodological application, and has published in several conservation journals.
