About our group Our research is motivated by the compelling need to understand how climate change impacts ecosystems and society and how to mitigate and adapt to climate change. We strive to address these questions and advance sustainability by combining in-situ measurements, remote sensing, machine learning/AI, and Earth system modeling. |
Update on March 30, 2025: Our global, OCO-2 based SIF product (GOSIF) and GPP product (GOSIF GPP) have been extended to 2024. Both products (0.05-deg; 8-day, monthly, & annual; 2000-2024) can be downloaded from Global Ecology Data Repository. Since 2019, they have contributed to ~450 journal articles.

[PDF] Group news: 2025: August: Jingfeng gave an invited talk at the 2025 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (Brisbane, Australia): Monitoring impacts of droughts and heatwaves on midday depression of photosynthesis and transpiration with satellite observations. Jie Zhang joined us as a postdoctal research associate. Welcome, Jie! Jingfeng gave an invited talk at the 3rd Geo-workshop (Workshop on Advancing International Constellation for Geostationary Satellite for Terrestrial Monitoring): Understanding diurnal cycling of ecosystem processes at regional to global scales. July: Jingyi's new paper titled Upscaling eddy covariance measurements of carbon and water fluxes to the continental scale by incorporating GEDI-derived canopy structural complexity metrics is published in Remote Sensing of Environment. This is the first study to use satellite-derived canopy structural complexity metrics to help upscale flux tower measurements to broad scales. [PDF] Henrique has been promoted to Research Scientist. Congrats, Henrique! Lulu Wang joined us for her one-year visit at UNH. Welcome, Lulu! June: Jingfeng now also serves as a Subject-matter Editor of Ecological Applications and an Editorial Board Member of Remote Sensing of Environment (besides as an Associate Editor of JGR: Biogeosciences and Ecological Processes). Jingyi participated in the Spectral Ecology Summer School (SPEC School). SPEC is aimed primarily at graduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in incorporating remote sensing tools into their ecological research. April: Jingfeng was recognized at the university's Annual Celebration Recognizing UNH Researchers and Scholars who won external awards in 2024. Jingfeng is named a 2024 Highly Ranked Scholar, one of the top 0.05% of all scholars worldwide, by ScholarGPS. March Jinbang started his three-year postdoctoral research associate program in our group today. Welcome, Jinbang!
