Research Interests: I am interested in the application of RS/GIS in geoscience studies. Specifically, I applied various remote sensing data (optical, UAS, satellite altimetry) and spatial analysis techniques in the geoscience information extraction, earth surface process modeling and geomorphology. Recently, I have focused on the investigation of impacts of dams on the downstream river water temperture, channel geomorpholgy as well as water levels of rivers and lakes.
