It's official! Our own Rui Gao, PhD (he/his) Rui Gao is officially a PhD Candidate. His work on vineyards biomass, ET partition and stress will be completed soon. Here a couple of pics of him participating in #UAV flights in the #TREX, #GRAPEX and #TURFEX projects.

Our team member Katherine Osorio-Diaz is participating in this exciting learning expedition in California!

Our team has an opening for a PhD student. Check this out.

Our team member Anderson Safre has recently published about the #SAFER ET model (which do not need a thermal band). He applied the model on the Agricultural Research Service #GRAPEX project data for daily and seasonal water consumption. Check it out: rdcu.be/cT0dP

An excellent project from our great colleague Lia Ramos Fernandez and her research team on rice water and methane management in Peru. Her videos are a great documentary of her efforts. Check it out!

Excited to give a scientific talk in my native tongue to Sino-Ecologists Association Overseas (Sino-Eco). It is embarrassing that I am not fluent in my native language anymore :) youtube.com/watch?v=f1ftkm…

Today the team joined the Utah Water Research Laboratory Xmas party and said farewell to Oliver Hargreaves. We wish you the best, Oliver!

Our work about the #LWP estimation based on #sUAV information was presented in #CAST-UT conference, and received an Excellent Research Award. Robust research results are on the way. Go Aggies!!!

As part of the Agricultural Research Service #GRAPEX project, our Rui Gao, PhD (he/his) completed a study #ET_Partition with Hidden Ninja SOL #TSEB model using AggieAir #UAV data across California Central Valley Vineyards mdpi.com/2098522 #mdpiremotesensing a través de Remote Sensing MDPI @DiviningWater

Our Rui Gao, PhD (he/his) successfully passed his PhD thesis defense! His work was related to evapotranspiration, transpiration and water stress in commercial vineyards using AggieAir UAV information along with physical and machine learning models.

A lot of interesting things I have learned from this journey. Also, we have several interesting published things. I love them. It seems that I need to be more sophisticated in this area and try something fun🤞 Thanks to Utah State University @theagricolateam Utah Water Research Laboratory @DiviningWater🙏

Very excited to share our new study NatureClimate showing land surface processes are the dominant driver of global runoff increase in a CO2-warmed world.nature.com/articles/s4155…

Ready to learn how to use LiDAR for research in #forestry and natural resources using #R? This week I am releasing a 7-part series to help you get started! Share with anyone you know who wants to get started. Part 1 covers acquiring, & viewing LiDAR data! bit.ly/lidR-module1

Logistic Regression clearly explained 👇🏻

Our researchers organized an awesome workshop all about two-source energy balance (TSEB) modeling, sharing their remote sensing expertise from some of their many projects and learning from other researchers. #remotesensing #UAVs #irrigation #precisionag AggieAir

How useful is it to combine thermal, multispectral and 3D images taken with UAVs to monitor water stress in vineyards? The answer in our last paper by Vicente Burchard-Levine et al. rdcu.be/dRM0K DATI_2021 PRIMA Program Mediterranean Partnership 🇪🇺 ICA_CSIC INIA-CSIC iMIDRA

🎉 I just got my author copy of my book from Amazon! While the front cover wasn't trimmed perfectly, the printing quality is very good. I am impressed 👍 📘 Grab your copy here: amazon.com/dp/B0FFW34LL3 Prefer digital? The PDF version is available on Leanpub:
