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 Minkyu is currently in the final stages of writing it up for submission to a journal!
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 the atmosphere and surface related to the emergence of leaves during springtime. A nice mix of ecology and surface climate!
For more information, see the paper, which is now available online from AFM.
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. Like all things in the natural world, turns out it's complicated!
The full paper can be found here.
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 with the PhenoCam network, which is funded by the NSF's Macrosystems Biology and NEON-Enabled Science program.

Jon Wang will give an invited talk at UC Irvine
PhD Candidate Jon Wang has been invited to give a talk at the Dept. of Earth System Science at University of California, Irvine, on January 17th 2019, entitled: "Multi-decadal Trends in Arctic and Boreal Land Cover and Productivity" [link]. The talk will showcase recent work from the NASA ABoVE project.
Damien Sulla-Menashe joined Tellus Labs
Congratulations to Damien Sulla-Menashe, a longtime LCSC researcher, who joined Tellus Labs as a Software Engineer. At Tellus Labs, Damien is using remote sensing, time series analysis, and machine learning algorithms to tackle "big data" problems.
