Welcome to Global Water Remote Sensing Lab!
We are exploring interactions between human and natural systems, especially at land-ocean interface using global-applicable physical analytical algorithms, big data analysis, cloud computing, and machine learning.
We are striving to explore influences of human activities on the aquatic systems (oceans, rivers, and lakes) to protect the Earth’s resources (coral reef, freshwater, fishes) and archive a more sustainable future.
