Evolving climate and eco-system within the human time scale

Changes in climate and eco-system directly impact our lives. We aim to understanding the long-term variability of climate as well as the feedbacks between the climate and vegetation environment. Identifying and analyzing contributing factors to climate change and its’ trend, vegetation dynamics under varying environmental conditions and catchment-wide evapotranspiration analysis under limited data availability are key topics investigated in our lab.
