Welcome to the Remote Sensing of Climate Group

    This area of research concerns diagnosis of the exchanges of energy and water between the land and atmosphere and the ocean and quantifying the partitioning of water on the land among evaporation, surface flooding, surface reservoirs, soil moisture, runoff, deep storage and river discharge. This work involves both the development of new analysis techniques for satellite remote sensing of land surface properties and water and of new approaches for combining information from many different kinds of measurements to quantify water variations on land from the local to the global scale.
