Our new study based on ML models provides novel insights into the #Arctic tundra wildfire dynamics in Alaska: Terrain, climate and self-reinforcing/self-limiting processes related to fire-vegetation dynamics are regulating tundra fire activity. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our study published in Geocarto International mapped human presence and quantified flood-exposure risk in close proximity to Bangladesh’s river network. Hopefully insights herein can be utilized for better #flood management in #Bangladesh. #NTL #LandScan tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Congrats Luo (Luo Wei) et al! Our published article analyzes space-time patterns of #COVID19 and its linkages to #PublicHealth interventions in Southeast Asia.

NASA Earth team picked our study to report ‘Rising Flood Risks in Bangladesh’. “The total nighttime light luminosity within 2 kilometers of rivers increased by 235 percent throughout Bangladesh,” said Arif Masrur, the Penn State University geographer who co-authored the study.

Our study (led by Dr. Manzhu Yu Penn State Geography) just published in #STOTEN proposes a novel deep learning framework named ST-Transformer for an improved spatiotemporal prediction (& interpretation) of hourly PM2.5 concentrations during wildfires. Pls read: authors.elsevier.com/c/1g8rWB8ccuvbX

This week I was invited by the #NASA_ABoVE Disturbance WG to give a talk on our recent research on Alaskan tundra fires, thanks to Dr. Dong (Tony) Chen for the invite. Here is the Fire Science Highlight on what our study discovered:

More fires mean poorer air quality in these fire-prone areas. This new Penn State Research by Manzhu Yu of Penn State geography and IEE at Penn State created a new model that provides improved air-quality predictions in fire-prone areas buff.ly/3ZT8dJb

Can attention mechanisms in sequence-sequence modeling be useful to capture complex spatiotemporal dynamics of wildfire spread? Read our chapter in "Artificial Intelligence in Earth Science: Best Practices and Fundamental Challenges" to find out! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very timely & useful conversation

Right now Bangladesh is entirely cut off from the rest of the world by the fascist gov. We know what that means. Please save our students and people who are protesting for reform and justice. Many were killed today Elon Musk #StarLinkforBangladesh

Urgent appeal to world leaders by Prof. Yunus about ongoing human rights violations in Bangladesh by the fascist Hasina Gov. Please pay attention Department of State Secretary Antony Blinken CNN The New York Times The Guardian Mehdi Hasan Piers Morgan Christiane Amanpour

Bangladesh’s AUTHORITARIAN PM Sheikh Hasina's idea of FREEDOM OF SPEECH = UNPLUG THE INTERNET.

It is surely time for UN Peacekeeping to immediately stop Bangladesh from providing peacekeepers to the United Nations until it undertakes an independent investigation of the violence used by the police, military and other para-military groups which has allegedly resulted in
