Welcome to the El Masri lab! In my lab we are focused on environmental modeling and monitoring . We are dedicated to study the impacts of the changing climate on the terrestrial ecosystem functions and structure using a suite of tools ranging from site measurements and remote sensing techniques to complex land surface models.
