Roger Michaelides uses a variety of remote sensing instruments, geospatial techniques, and time series methods to study dynamic surface processes from Arctic tundra wildfires to high-desert debris flows.

Michaelides is a radar geophysicist by training, with expertise in several radar remote sensing modalities and techniques, specifically: Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), radar altimetry, ground-penetrating radar, radio echo sounding. He is interested in developing novel remote sensing and geospatial techniques that can be applied to study dynamic processes and properties of the
