Excited to share a new paper by former postdoc Dan Wanyama (now Asst Prof at UCONN) on dynamics of West African forests. Dan fused Landsat time series, GEDI Lidar, and VIIRS/MODIS active fires to assess the effects of forest loss, degradation, and recovery on biomass. doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

The manuscript offers new insights into spatial and temporal patterns of urban microclimate, emphasizing contrasts between dry- and wet-bulb temperatures and indoor and outdoor microenvironment. We would be interested to hear your feedback!

Oklahoma is burning (literally this time) - stay safe people! This is just the OKC weather radar, so it isn't capturing plumes in other parts of the state.

I'm looking forward to presenting a seminar tomorrow for the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Infectious Disease Work Group. I'll be talking about how satellite Earth observations can be used for research on mosquito-borne diseases and development of public health tools. Hope to see you there!

Catching the last rays of sunset over the National Weather Center, and reflecting on the passing of our dean, Dr. Berrien Moore III. An esteemed scientist, lover of the arts, and all-around good human being. He will be missed and remembered well for all his personal and professional contributions.

Achievement unlocked! Got my NASA calendar at #AGU24! In the end, it was just dumb luck that I happened to be walking by the exhibit hall just as it opened and managed to grab one.
