Angela Kross is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment at Concordia University, where she leads the Earth Observation (EOL) Lab. Her research interests lie at the intersection of geospatial technologies (remote sensing and geographic information systems), ecology, and environmental science. In her research, she integrates field measurements, models, and multi-sensor remote sensing data (from optical, thermal, and radar sensors, and more recently, acoustic sensors) with geospatial methods to answer questions related to ecosystem processes, vegetation development, biodiversity, and land use change in response to anthropogenic and natural drivers, such as agriculture practices, mining activities, and climate change. Her work spans the full spectrum from fundamental remote sensing research (advancing methods to link spectral signals with ecosystem characteristics) to applied research addressing current challenges in agriculture, forest, peatland, and urban environments. Her research, including work within her lab, has been published in leading remote sensing and applied journals, including Remote Sensing of the Environment, Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, Urban Ecosystems, Environmental Impact Assessment Review, Ecological Informatics, Agricultural Water Management, Journal of Forestry Research, and Urban Forestry & Urban Greening.

By translating spectral signals into ecological information, her work positions remote sensing as a form of environmental sensing that extends human perception, contributing to interdisciplinary dialogues on how environments are sensed, measured, interpreted, and experienced.
