Biography I’m a structural geologist interested in integrating field geology with remote sensing techniques such as LiDAR and imaging spectroscopy to investigate the tectonic and environmental processes that shape Earth’s surface. My teaching emphasizes the integration of field observations with GIS and remote sensing techniques to develop the practical geoscientific and spatial analytical skills that […]
Research areas: Atmospheric remote sensing, aerosol, cloud, atmospheric radiation, air quality, climate science, precipitation, hydrometeorology My name is Ian Chang. I am an atmospheric scientist with research interests in atmospheric aerosol, cloud, radiation, air quality, precipitation, climate, and hydrometeorology. My current research includes (1) aerosol-cloud-radiation-precipitation interactions, (2) interrelationships between regional air quality, anthropogenic activities, and […]
Dr. Lin Li is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Geographical Sciences. With a background as both a field-based and laboratory-oriented geologist, Dr. Li’s research passion lies in unraveling the sedimentary and tectonic evolution of orogenic belts, decoding paleoclimate and paleoelevation signals preserved in sedimentary rocks, and investigating the intricate interplay […]
I am a human geographer with a background in international relations, Middle Eastern studies, and the broader social sciences. My teaching and research take a critical, multi-scalar approach to the study of human-environment interactions to understand how people and the environment mutually shape one another. I am particularly interested in how and why communities and […]
