How is climate change transforming terrestrial ecosystem and carbon cycle dynamics?

Climate change, human activity, and natural disturbances are reorganizing Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems. In the DYCE lab, we use remote sensing, high-performance computation, field measurements, and machine learning to study how these ecological transformations affect the global carbon-climate system.
