| Biography:
I came to Moscow, Idaho after teaching in China for a few years. My past
educational background is in earth sciences and geographic information
systems. Currently I am a PhD student working with Dr. Alistair Smith in the
Forest and Rangeland Measurements Lab on remote sensing applications in
forest and wildland ecosystems, especially using lidar to measure canopy
structure and land cover at different scales. The information will help
understand/model how radiation will be affected by the gaps in forest. I am
also interested in the forest/snow hydrology, biogeochemical cycling.
Research
1. Lidar applications
Using Lidar to obtain information about earth surface
(terrain, vegetation, snow) and ecological processes.
More info about Lidar can be
linked to

and

2.
leaf wetness sensor
I am interested in learning how
long the water will stay on the leaves and vegetation surfaces; how the
vegetation structure affects the water interception, distribution and
duration.
