Dr. Wang gave a talk on “Interactive Land Use-Climate Change Predictions in West Africa” at the AGU fall meeting. Dana Parr, Miao Yu, Farzan Ahmed, and Congsheng Fu from our group all gave poster presentations at the meeting.

Jeehee Kim successfully defended her M.S. thesis. Congratulations!

Dr. Zhenming Ji joint the group as a visiting scholar. He is a postdoctoral associate from Dr. Jeremy Pal’s group at the Loyola Marymount University. He will be working with both Wang and Pal on the NSF-funded EaSM project. Welcome to Zhenming!

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!

Dr. Wang gave a lecture to high school seniors at the Watkinson School in Hartford on “Climate Change: Causes, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies”

Dr. Congsheng Fu joined the Lab as a postdoc scholar. Welcome Congsheng! Congsheng got his PhD degree in hydrology from Sun Yat-Sen University, and spent two years as a postdoc in Nipissing University (Canada) before joining our lab. Welcome Congsheng!
