RESEARCH INTERESTS

The focus of my research is on satellite-based applications to study soil-vegetation-climate interactions, including phenology, tropical and arid ecosystems, carbon and water cycling, drought, and land degradation.  Other primary areas of research interest involve,
- the sustainability of ecosystems and natural resources with satellite-based monitoring tools
- satellite and tower flux measurement coupling for hydrologic and carbon studies
- climate and human-nature interactions on carbon and hydrologic processes
- socio-ecologic impacts of land use and land cover change.

I also work on the development of refined and improved algorithms for generation of satellite data products for Earth observation and monitoring. We develop sensitive satellite-based measures of photosynthetically-active vegetation (spectral vegetation indices) to reveal spatial-temporal patterns of vegetation variability over growing seasons and through long term inter-annual cycles.  These algorithms are developed for time series- based measures of land surface patterns from space that facilitate analysis and investigations on how ecosystems are changing and how they respond to climate change and environmental forcings and stresses.  Our satellite products are also used in climate models, biogeochemical models, and net primary production models. 

Our Terrestrial Biophysics and Remote Sensing Lab (TBRS) has built up a strong and remote sensing program involving field-based and flux tower-based validation campaigns to determine satellite product accuracies.  We have explored numerous environmental and natural resource uses of our products, such as the sensitivity and vulnerability of semi-arid lands to climate variations; land degradation and desertification processes; carbon and water flux studies; drought and food security; restoration of riparian vegetation and wetlands; phenology; and land conversion effects in the Amazon.

TBRS lab research activities involve collaborative work with Optical Sciences, Hydrology, Atmospheric Sciences, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, USGS, and USDA-ARS, NASA-Ames, NASA-Goddard, JAXA (Japan), Mekong Institute, Zhejiang University, Boston University, University of Montana, University of California-Santa Barbara, University of Maryland, University of Brasilia, the Brazil Space Agency, INPE, and the University of Valencia, Spain.
