Dr Niels Andela

Dr Niels Andela heads up BeZero’s Remote Sensing team and is an expert on forest disturbance and carbon stock estimates. He spent over five years working at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center developing novel methods to monitor wildfires and constrain their role in the carbon cycle and has also lectured in remote sensing at Cardiff University. Niels holds a PhD in Earth Sciences from VU University Amsterdam and is the (co-)author of over 30 research articles covering remote sensing, the carbon cycle, tropical vegetation dynamics, and global climate change.

Before joining BeZero, Niels was a lecturer in remote sensing at Cardiff University, developing novel approaches for understanding and monitoring tropical ecosystem change.
