We are global change ecologists and we use various tools — remote sensing, field observations, and modeling — to understand the impact of climate change on our ecosystems. We travel to ecosystems from tropics to the arctic. We use novel remote sensing techniques to see the ecosystems in ways we couldn't. We use advanced computer science techniques to analyze geospatial products. Please contact xiyang@virginia.edu if you are interested in joining the lab! We are looking for motivated undergraduate, graduate students, and postdocs.

So happy to share our most recent paper coming out today! t.co/PacKbow2RI We show how simultaneously stimulating the Calvin cycle and the electron transport chain we can not only increase plant biomass but also water use efficiency. @RIPEproject @EPIC_Essex

@Novick_Lab_IU Managing money, people, time. How to do both quick and deep lit reviews. Tools for collaboration. Ethics, authorship guidelines, confronting harassment. Sci comm. Reading RFPs. Philosophy/history of science. "other" is a big tent! Can share some slides.
