How do forests stay healthy even when they're disturbed? My undergraduate research focuses on answering that question using over 30 years of Landsat satellite imagery from the central Amazon. I developed a new method for measuring ecological resistance—a forest's ability to maintain its condition despite disturbances such as drought or human activity. By combining multiple satellite measurements into a standardized metric, the research provides a way to compare how different forests respond to change and could help scientists better monitor ecosystem resilience over time.
