Current Research

Remote sensing of patterns in ecosystem resilience. Focus on phenology variability, responses and trajectories over interannual and landscape scales spanning the Continental US.

Research Interests

• Multivariate statistical clustering of very large data sets: phenological ecoregions
• ForWarn: near real time forest change assessment
• MODIS NDVI

Past Research

• Geostatistics for decision support: surface containment for CCS (gas seepage)
• Plant-climate interactions, analytics of in situ environmental data, eddy covariance: Chequamegon Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (ChEAS)
• Biosphere-atmosphere modeling: CarbonTracker, inverse atmospheric transport modeling
• Upscaling/downscaling for bridging gaps between models and observations: COMDAST
