Congratulations to Haoran, who received the department’s annual Thomas O’Brien Award!
Led by Fa Li, we published a paper with Global Change Biology for understanding the impacts of vegetation clumping on global photosynthesis.
The spatial organization of vegetation crowns and leaves in vegetation canopy (clumping) and its uncertainty have a big impact on the land surface light environment and photosynthesis, highlighted by our new research. See details at …
Annelise presented her MMSD SRI program poster
As a celebration of finishing her MMSD SRI program internship, Annelise presented a nice poster titled “Changes in climatic residential suitability in US major cities” on September 20, 2022. Her poster attracted a lot of …
Welcome Annelise Alvin!
We welcomed Annelise Alvin to be part of our lab for this summer. Annelise is one of 30 students from the Madison Metropolitan School District who was selected to be a part of the High …
New paper published by Nature Reviews Earth & Environment: revisiting vegetation indices with new insights
Led by Yelu, we published a technical review paper “Optical vegetation indices for monitoring terrestrial ecosystems globally” in Nature Reviews Earth and Environment. Beyond reviewing the history and applications of VIs, for the first time, …
Haoran received a NEON scholarship. Congrats!
Haoran Liu received a NEON scholarship to support an excellent opportunity to attend the 13th Annual Fluxcourse this summer in Colorado.
New published study points out adjusting solar-induced fluorescence to nadir-viewing provides a better proxy for GPP
Solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) provides key information for inferring terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP). However, there is little research on analyzing the performance of nadir-adjusted SIF (SIFnadir) on GPP, compared to total SIF emitted by all leaves (SIFtotal) for reducing the …
New paper published at Remote Sensing of Environment
In principle, NIR reflectance purely from vegetation (NIRv) is a strong indicator of vegetation absorbed solar radiation and ecosystem primary productivity. The current formula of NIRv with multispectral remote sensing data removes most of the …
Welcome the lab’s new URS scholar!
Mr. Supradipta Khanal joined the lab as a URS scholar. Supra is a Posse Fellow and a freshman majoring in computer science and economics. He will work on phenological forecasting during his training in our …
