About
Donna Delparte is a geospatial ecologist whose research lies at the intersection of conservation biology and emerging remote sensing technologies. Her work primarily focuses on developing innovative methods to monitor wildlife habitat, with a particular emphasis on species like the greater sage-grouse. In her highly cited 2017 paper, Delparte and her colleagues introduced novel applications of drones and high-resolution imagery to measure habitat quality and behavioral patterns, addressing critical threats such as fire, drought, and infrastructure development. This work has been cited 9 times and is foundational for researchers seeking non-invasive ways to assess plant cover and food availability for sensitive species. Beyond this flagship study, Delparte is recognized for advancing the use of structure-from-motion photogrammetry and thermal imaging in ecological monitoring. Her contributions have directly informed land management practices in the Intermountain West, bridging the gap between cutting-edge geospatial tools and on-the-ground conservation. For students and researchers, Delparte’s work exemplifies how technology can transform our understanding of habitat dynamics in a rapidly changing world.
