Mitchell is a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto Mississauga, where he works with Dr. Yuhong He and the RSSEM lab. Mitchell completed his undergraduate degree in Environmental Geography, GIS and Political Science at the University of Toronto. He completed his MSc in Physical Geography (Remote Sensing) at Queen's University with Dr. Paul Treitz and Dr. Ryan Danby. Here, he used satellite time-series to monitor and understand the landscape variability of vegetation change due to climate warming in northern Canada. Mitchell currently focuses on using long-term remote sensing time-series to monitor urban and rural forest change in southern Ontario, but also branches out to other areas (e.g., Australian bushfires). He makes use of cloud-based platforms (Google Earth Engine), satellite standardization workflows, and time-series fitting algorithms to build and analyze consistent time-series data.
