Annual Aboveground Biomass for Boreal Forests Data set published.
The 30 meter above-ground biomass data set that Jon Wang created as part of his dissertation has now been published and is available for the science community to use. Please see Data and Code for details and a link to the data set! And stay tuned for the paper and analysis based on this data […]
New paper on moderate spatial resolution phenology
Our paper describing results from our NASA Multi-Sensor Land Imaging (MuSLI) project has been published in Remote Sensing of Environment. The paper was lead by post-doc Doug Bolton, and includes Eli Melaas, Josh Gray (at NCSU), Minkyu Moon and our Swedish collaborator (Lars Elklundh) as co-authors. This paper reflects a ton of great work by […]
Doug Bolton takes position at Indigo Ag
Doug Bolton, who joined the LCSC team as a post-doc in July of 2018, has left the team to take a position as a remote sensing data scientist at Indigo Ag in Charlestown, MA. We’re sad to see him leave, but excited for Doug as he starts this new phase of his career in the […]
Minkyu wins outstanding student paper award at fall AGU meeting
Thrilled to announce that our very own Minyu Moon’s poster presentation at AGU in December was selected as an “outstanding student paper.” This is a big honor that reflects the exciting new work that Minkyu is working on. The paper was entitled: “Climate controls on springtime phenology in Eastern Temperate Forests of North America” and […]
New paper published by PhD student Minkyu Moon
The second paper from Minkyu’s dissertation, which is entitled “Modification of Surface Energy Balance During Springtime: The Relative Importance of Biophysical and Meteorological Changes”, has been published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology. In this paper, Minkyu uses a novel attribution method based on the first order physics of surface energy balance to explore feedbacks between […]
New paper published on the sensitivity of global pasturelands to climate change
PhD student Radost Stanimirova’s new paper entitled “Sensitivity of Global Pasturelands to Climate Variation” was just published in AGU’s new transdisciplinary Open Access Journal (Earth’s Future). In this paper, Radost uses panel-based regression models applied to remote sensing and climate data to characterize geographic patterns in the sensitivity of global pasturelands to variability and change […]
Another successful AGU for LCSC in San Francisco
Team LCSC had an exciting week of science and socializing at the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco last week. Altogether, the group presented 8 oral presentations or posters. We also had an alumni reunion at a local brewery followed by dinner, and spent a day hiking the coastal forests […]
New paper on Arctic-Boreal greening and browning published in Environmental Research Letters
The second paper from LCSC alumnus Jon Wang’s dissertation has been published in Environmental Research Letters. This exciting new work builds on previous work in the group by both Jon and Damien Sulla-Menashe, and illustrates the important influence that land cover and land cover change impose on observed greening and browning trends at high latitudes. […]
New LCSC datasets published and available to community
We have several new datasets that the LCSC team has either developed or contributed to that are now available. Specifically, new data sets that we generated as part of NASA’s ABoVE project have now been published at the Oak Ridge National Lab Distributed Active Archive Center, along with data generated as part of our work […]
Two new papers published by LCSC Ph.D. Students
Big congrats to LCSC team members Radost Stanimirova and Jon Wang, who each published new papers over the last two weeks. Radost’s paper, “An Empirical Assessment of the MODIS Land Cover Dynamics and TIMESAT Land Surface Phenology Algorithms” was published in Remote Sensing. Jon’s paper, Extensive land cover change across Arctic–Boreal Northwestern North America from […]
