Liang, Mengyu (Amber)
I'm a final year PhD candidate working on developing remote sensing techniques utilizing multi-source remote sensing data (e.g. GEDI, ICESat2, Landsat archive, PlanetScope) for monitoring long term carbon sequestration in forest restoration areas in East Africa. Seeking to understand how to use RS-based quantitative information to improve the sustainability of human-environment interaction is both a passion of mine and the aim of my PhD work. Moreover, I have developed skills in forest inventory and Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) data collection from working on field campaigns in Mozambique and Uganda. Developing web-based interactive map dashboards is another set of technical expertise that I have been practicing (see http://mliang8.github.io/ for map portfolio ) and want to employ in future projects to enhance communications with various stakeholders.
