In this research group, we explore how boreal forest canopies regulate ground temperature and water dynamics in Arctic and Subarctic regions, with a focus on forest phenology. Using satellite-derived data (e.g., LAI and NDVI from MODIS, Landsat, and VIIRS), we analyze spatial and temporal patterns and examine key environmental factors, such as climate, snow cover, and forest composition, to understand their effects on permafrost stability. This project is ideal for students in geography, environmental science, or related fields who are interested in Arctic ecosystems, remote sensing, and forest ecology. While basic GIS and programming skills (e.g., Google Earth Engine, JavaScript) are helpful, they are not required, and we will develop these skills throughout the project. By joining, you'll gain hands-on experience in geospatial analysis, contribute to real-world environmental research, and collaborate in an exciting academic setting to investigate critical Arctic processes.
