Amir Erfanian joined the group as a new PhD student. His dissertation research will focus on vegetation-climate interactions and regional climate modeling. Welcome!

Dr. Wang visited Professor Dagang Wang (an alumnus of our group) at Sun Yat-Sen University in China and gave a talk on “land-atmosphere interactions and climate variability at time scales from sub-seasonal to decadal”. It was great to see Dagang again six years after he left UConn!

Upon her return from China, Dr. Wang gave a talk at UC-Davis and at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab on ecosystem-climate interactions.

Di Wu successfully defended his M.S. thesis. Congratulations!
