Taylor Davis has an undergraduate degree in geography from Queen’s University and a Master’s degree in Environment and Management from Royal Roads. He conducted his thesis research on applying airborne remote sensing to urban watershed restoration through low impact development implementation such as green roofing and rain gardens. He currently works for Terra remote sensing, based on Vancouver Island, where he continues research and development on environmental application of integrated remote sensing. To this end, he works closely with two research groups at the University of Victoria, the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS) and the British Columbia Centre for Applied Remote Sensing, Modeling and Simulation (BC CARMS). In the spare time that he has, he produces art work. Glad to be a part of the CRC Community for this project, he hopes that his contributions will have a positive effect.
