Dr. David Roy of SDSU has research interests including the development of remote sensing and advanced computing methods to map and characterize terrestrial change, in particular the occurrence and spatial extent of vegetation fires; the causes and consequences of land cover and land use change; and fire-climate-vegetation interactions. He is also interested in development of methodologies to facilitate the transfer of remote sensing products into the user domain, particularly in developing countries.
Dr. Roy held post-doctoral research fellowships at the U.K. Natural Environment Research Council Unit for Thematic Information Systems, University of Reading  , and at the Space Applications Institute, Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, Ispra, Italy. Before moving to South Dakota State University he was a research scientist in the Department of Geography, University of Maryland, and led the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Land Data Operational Product Evaluation group at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center for eight years.
Dr. Roy has a B.Sc. degree in Geophysics from the Department of Environmental Science, University of Lancaster, U.K. (1987), an M.Sc. degree in Remote Sensing and Image Processing from the Department of Meteorology, University of Edinburgh (1988), and a Ph.D. in Remote Sensing from the Department of Geography, Cambridge University (1994).
