I am interested in quantifying anthropogenic damage to forest ecosystems, particularly logging and fires. My research involves using both ground and light detection and ranging (Lidar) data for allometric calculations and creating terrain and canopy...

I am interested in carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems. My research includes 1) assimilating remote sensing data into the Ecosystem Demography (ED) model, and 2) estimating carbon, energy, and water fluxes. Besides forests, I am also interested in...

As a visiting student, my research aims to investigate the relationship between land surface temperature (LST) and land use and land cover (LULC), focusing on vegetation. My project will involve analysis of thermal data, lidar, radar, and imaging...

My research seeks to determine which environmental factors influence the upper bound of tree height. I utilize forest inventory plot, light detection and ranging (Lidar), topographic, soils, and water data in order to create tree and canopy height models...

My research focuses on using mathematical and statistical methods to identify the factors that drive organisms to move and the consequences of these movements. I combine analytic and simulation models to achieve this. In my postdoctoral work, I will...

I have a background of computational earth system science and my research goal aims at understanding how human activity and climate change would affect the terrestrial ecosystem. I specialize in using earth system models, satellite products, in-situ...

During my Ph.D., I plan on utilizing my background in GIS and ecology as I explore the impact of global changes, like climate and land use, on species. Specifically, I am interested in applying quantitative and spatial modeling techniques to better...
