SUMMARY:Geospatial Forum: Dr. Sparkle Malone - Yale University
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Ecological Understanding through the Convergence of Machine Learning and Environmental Infrastructure: Understanding Carbon Exchange Rates \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Sparkle Malone\, Assistant Professor of Ecosystem Carbon Capture\, Yale University \n\n\n\nHosted by: Dr. Mirela Tulbure\, CGA Faculty Fellow and Professor of Forestry and Environmental Resources \n\n\n\nSummary: In ecological systems\, nonlinearities emerge from complex interactions and feedback loops across multiple scales. Capturing resilient and emergent patterns is challenging\, yet essential for thriving under uncertain conditions. As global change accelerates\, the adaptive management of complex systems necessitates advancements in and integration of ecology\, physical and analytical research infrastructure\, and machine learning. Currently\, our understanding of the environmental factors influencing exchange rates of greenhouse gases (CO2\, H2O\, and CH4) between Earth’s surface and atmosphere is limited\, particularly regarding spatial and temporal variability. Intricate feedbacks between biological processes\, climate\, and land cover changes further complicate our understanding of these rates across diverse ecosystems. \n\n\n\nIn this forum\, Dr. Malone will discuss how 1) leveraging existing infrastructure and data streams from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)\, AmeriFlux\, and FLUXNET\, and 2) integrating network science and machine learning can overcome biases in data collection and measuring functional relationships between flux observations (responses) and their environmental drivers (meteorological and land surface) in order to elucidate spatio-temporal variability of flux responses across ecosystems. Flux data can be improved by accounting for surface heterogeneity and evolving sample characteristics over time. This research represents a convergence of physical and analytical infrastructure to deepen our understanding of ecosystems’ effects on the atmosphere. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Sparkle L. Malone obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Alabama in 2014\, where she studied the carbon fluxes in subtropical wetland ecosystems. She then went on to work for the USDA Forest Service at Rocky Mountain Research Station (2014-2017) and Florida International University (2017- 2022). At FIU she established the Malone Disturbance Ecology lab where her primary research focus was to improve our understanding of how climate and disturbance regimes influence spatial and temporal variability in ecosystem structure and function. Using remote sensing and eddy covariance data and models\, she explores questions related to ecosystem condition\, sustainability\, and vulnerability to climate extremes. In the fall of 2022\, she joined the Yale School of the Environment and the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture. \nRecording: https://youtu.be/VGSfRihjZ9c

SUMMARY:GIS Week: Geospatial Forum (Studio) with Dr. Emil Cherrington - NASA SERVIR
DESCRIPTION:Use of NASA Open Data for Land Cover Change Monitoring and Vegetation Height Modeling \n>>>REGISTER HERE!<<< \nSpeaker: Dr. Emil Cherrington\, Thematic Lead\, Ecosystem & Carbon Management\, SERVIR Science Coordination Office at NASA; Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s Earth System Science Center. \nHosted by the Geospatial Graduate Student Organization and part of GIS Week at NC State. \nSummary: This two-part studio activity will focus on the use of open data from the NASA / USGS Landsat series of satellites for mapping land cover change\, and the use of spaceborne LiDAR data from the GEDI instrument for estimating vegetation height. This activity will focus on the use of the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform\, in conjunction with the LandTrendr algorithm (Kennedy et al. 2010\, Kennedy et al. 2018)\, and a regression-based vegetation height upscaling technique developed by Ujaval Gandhi of the company Spatial Thoughts. While the specific geographic focus of the studio activity will be Mesoamerica\, participants will be able to adjust the study domains to their respective areas of interest. \nAbout the speaker: Emil Cherrington is a Research Scientist at the Earth System Science Center (ESSC) of the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) and serves as the Regional Science Coordination Lead for West Africa for the SERVIR program of NASA and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). He has almost nineteen years of professional experience working with geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing\, with his work focusing on the use of such technologies for land cover change detection\, ecosystem monitoring\, disaster response\, and integrated water resource management. He holds a joint Ph.D. in forest ecology (with an emphasis in remote sensing) from AgroParisTech (France) and the Technische Universität Dresden (Germany)\, under the auspices of a fellowship from the European Commission’s Erasmus Mundus program. He holds a master’s degree in forest resources from the University of Washington’s College of Forest Resources (where he was an Organization of American States Fellow) and a bachelor’s degree in biology from Loyola University Maryland. \nRecording: https://youtu.be/j_C_v7gn5po
