Hello! I'm Sabine Nix.

I'm currently a Thouron Scholar and MSc student at University College London studying Remote Sensing and Environmental Mapping. I'm broadly interested in using remote sensing to study natural climate solutions, ecosystem climate resilience, and climate tipping points. Previously, I was a University Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied Earth science and concentrated in environmental science. My undergraduate research focused on tree cover change in Philadelphia parkland.
