Fujiang has been awarded the department’s Joon Lee Award in recognition of his outstanding academic performance. Congratulations!
Magical Hotspot Effect: Enhanced Correlation Between Hotspot Vegetation Index and Photosynthetic Carbon Flux
Haoran led a study published in Remote Sensing of Environment. This study reveals that measuring the near-infrared reflectance of vegetation (NIRvP) in the “hotspot” direction—where satellite sensors align with the sun’s path—offers a stronger correlation …
AttentionFire v2.0! Fa published a study on projecting large fires in the western US using a hybrid physical-ML model
“Anthropogenic climate change has caused more frequent and widespread large fires in the western United States (US). Interpretable and accurate methods that can predict large fires in advance and at a high spatial resolution are …
