Kamel Didan is Professor in Biosystems Engineering and Remote Sensing / Spatial Analysis – GIDP as well as Research Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, United States.

The focus of his teaching and research is global remote sensing of the land surface vegetation and the development of remote sensing measurements, data, algorithms, and models for calibrated time series analysis aimed at assessing climate-related and land use change influences on vegetation, phenology, water, carbon and nutrient cycles, ecosystem composition and function over a wide range of biomes. This work connects natural resources management and the multidisciplinary use of remote sensing data and techniques to address engineering and societal challenges from agricultural production to ecosystem management, and from watershed to regional to global levels.
