About
Dr. Joan Marques is a pioneering researcher in precision horticulture and agricultural remote sensing, whose work bridges cutting-edge geospatial technology with practical fruit production challenges. Her key research areas include high-resolution remote sensing, GIS applications in agriculture, and precision management of perennial fruit crops. Her most cited paper, "High resolution remote sensing, GIS and Google Earth for avocado fruit quality mapping and tree number auditing" (2016, 13 citations), presented at the prestigious XXIX International Horticultural Congress, exemplifies her innovative approach to integrating satellite imagery and geospatial tools for orchard management. This work demonstrated how remote sensing can accurately map fruit quality variability and audit tree populations, offering growers a scalable, cost-effective method to optimize yield and resource use. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Marques has contributed to advancing mechanization and precision horticulture, with her research influencing sustainable farming practices globally. Her achievements include presenting at international symposia on perennial fruit crop physiology and production systems, where her insights have shaped discussions on the future of data-driven agriculture. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Marques continues to inspire students and researchers to explore the intersection of technology and horticulture, making her a vital voice in the evolution of smart farming.
