Understanding Earth System Processes While Empowering the Next Generation of Scientists

Focus

The EARTH SENSE LAB led by Dr. Christian Andresen focuses on Earth system science applied to land-atmosphere carbon dynamics under the effects of climate change. Particularly, we specialize in multidisciplinary research that combines system ecology, hydrology and biogeochemistry with geospatial technologies to better characterize higher-level environmental processes over spatial and temporal scales.
