· Can discuss use of NASA satellite data to help understand global carbon cycle.
· Can discuss methods used by scientists to understand absorption of carbon dioxide (i.e. carbon sequestration) by plants and oceans.
· Research includes characterizing complexity and quantifying uncertainty in environmental systems with goal of improving our understanding of these systems and our ability to forecast their variability. Current research interests focus on atmospheric greenhouse gas emission and sequestration estimation, water quality monitoring and contaminant source identification, and use of remote sensing data for earth system characterization.
