Prof. Chen's Lab at Rutgers University

The Ecosystem Dynamics and Remote Sensing Lab is led by Dr. Chi Chen, who is an assistant professor and a faculty member in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources at Rutgers University, New Brunswick.

Our group conducts interdisciplinary research to address how vegetation regulates energy, water, and gas exchanges in the coupled climate and human system across spatial and temporal scales. We aim to monitor and understand terrestrial biosphere processes in the context of climate change, disturbances, and increased human activities. We use tools ranging from remote sensing and in-situ observations to Earth system models, and from physics-based theories to machine learning techniques. Our research could inform large-scale land management, including agriculture and silviculture practices, urban planning, and nature-based climate solutions. Our research (see published papers) has reached a wider international audience through through media coverage. Dr. Chi Chen teaches remote sensing and ecosystem modeling classes at Rutgers University.

The key questions we asking are:
