New paper in Remote Sensing of Environment
Our colleague Qiong Hu, who visited the LCSC in 2019, has published the results from the work she did during her visit in Remote Sensing of Environment. Full details and a link to the paper can be found on our publications page.
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 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 […]
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.
