William Stefanov trains International Space Station astronauts in Earth System Science and conducts research on land surface processes
using remotely sensed data. His research interests include the use of visible through microwave remote sensing
techniques to investigate urban and peri-urban geology/geohazards, climatology, and ecology. He also participates in Space
Shuttle on-orbit inspection activities as part of the Integrated Analysis Team.
