AI will provide a deeper interpretation and autonomous identification of urban issues and the creation of customized urban designs. Open issues remain, esp. in integrating diverse geospatial big data, data security, and developing a general framework. nature.com/articles/s4294…

Global Change Biology This whiplash event caused a pronounced vegetation accumulation-then-desiccation cycle, adding more fuel for (potential) fires to come then drying it out to record levels for time of year--setting stage for destructive fires when strong winds arrived.[3/8] onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

🚨Hot off the press📰: Our new RSE paper utilized daily nighttime light time series images from NASA's Black Marble Product to provide fine-scale knowledge on the spatial heterogeneity and socioeconomic inequality in the post-hurricane recovery. ➡️OA: rb.gy/1c1g6t

The UConn Global Environmental Remote Sensing (GERS) Lab has developed a new remote sensing method to continuously monitor primary forest loss and determine what factors are driving that loss. today.uconn.edu/2025/02/uconn-…

Old-growth forests are some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Remote sensing works as a "time machine" to understand how these forests change -- and how these changes impact biodiversity. 🌎 Zhe Zhu 🌎🛰️ today.uconn.edu/2025/02/uconn-…

Remote Sensing is a powerful tool and can be used as a time machine to track biodiversity loss. GERS Laboratory PhD candidate Falu Hong mapped primary forest at a high spatiotemporal resolution. UConn Researchers Tracking Change in Precious Ecosystems today.uconn.edu/2025/02/uconn-…

NASA's HLS project has released new vegetation indices with 30m spatial resolution, enhancing global monitoring for agricultural and other vegetation-focused applications. Dive into the data: earthdata.nasa.gov/news/harmonize… #Vegetation #Agriculture #Nasa

In Nature Climate Change NatureClimate, we show that Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) have strong but different effects on plant and insect phenology. nature.com/articles/s4155… rdcu.be/eaLMu

Finally published! We show that border protected areas are not being established where they are most needed, as 45.2% of high-conservation-value borders lack protection. Really pround of Tiantian! doi.org/10.1016/j.onee…

My first managed RSE special issue in 2025 as the RSE special issue editor. This will be another extremely highly cited and very selective RSE special issue for sure. If you are using medium and high resolution images for large area mapping, this is the issue you cannot miss.

Congratulations Tian Li! PhD is a long journey, hope you enjoyed this one and will have an even more exciting one aligned ahead.

Kelp forests on the coast of Maine are in decline owing to rapid ocean warming and are being replaced by turf algae, which alter the ecosystem’s chemistry, hindering the recovery of kelp forests. Learn more in this week's issue of Science: scim.ag/43prS6n

Great opportunity if you are studying urban science using remote sensing data!
