Jung-Eun Lee Associate Professor of Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences

Jung-Eun Lee

Our central research question is how the biosphere and climate coevolve, focusing on how biological processes in the land surface modulate the hydrological cycle across multiple timescales--diurnal, seasonal, interannual, millennial, and geological. Our research program combines the observation of biogeochemical data and the integration of observed characteristics to provide insight into fundamental processes in the climate system. We are looking for new graduate students, so if you are interested, please email Jung-Eun (leeje {AT} brown.edu).
