Mollie Dean Gaines
I am a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at North Carolina State University. In 2024, I earned my Ph.D. in Geospatial Analytics from North Carolina State University. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS in Data Science and GIS with Honors from William & Mary in May 2019. I am passionate about studying the intersection of environmental and societal dynamics to improve equitable sustainability and resiliency in the face of climate change.

2023 journal article
Automated in-season rice crop mapping using Sentinel time-series data and Google Earth Engine: A case study in climate-risk prone Bangladesh
JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, 351.
author keywords: Synthetic aperture radar; Random forest; Multi-otsu; Boro rice; Flooding; In-season maps
TL;DR:
Although the multi-Otsu approach had relatively lower OCA, it proved effective in accurately mapping rice areas prior to harvest, eliminating the need for training samples that can be challenging to obtain during the growing season.
