Maintenance and Refinement of the Suomi NPP VIIRS Land Surface Reflectance Product Suite
The primary objective of this proposal is the maintenance of a well calibrated, high quality, multi-satellite, daily, multispectral land surface reflectance dataset from 2012 to present, providing a critical data set of global land observations needed to advance Earth System Science.
Crop yield assessment and mapping by a combined use of Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 images
The overall scientific goal of the project was to develop a new algorithm and products for agriculture monitoring, namely crop yield assessment and mapping, by combining moderate spatial resolution images acquired by Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1/SAR remote sensing satellites. The project explored an increased temporal frequency of observations and coverage as well as combination of optical and microwave (SAR) imagery to generate new products that provided improved spatially explicit crop yield mapping at regional and field scales.

Agricultural Land Use Change in Central and Northeast Thailand: Effects on Biomass Emissions, Soil Quality, and Rural Livelihoods
The overall goal of this project is to understand the impacts of recent land use changes in Central and Northeast Thailand on biomass emissions, soil quality, and economic well-being in rural communities. The specific objectives are to: 1) map major cropping system conversions (e.g.
