Lin Meng
Assistant Professor, Earth and Environmental Sciences
The Meng Lab focuses on the impact of climate change and human activities on terrestrial ecosystems using field measurements, satellite imageries, and data-driven Earth system modeling. The broad research goals are to 1) understand the changes, drivers, and mechanisms of vegetation dynamics in natural and human-dominated systems and 2) improve realistic predictive modeling on the interactive and complex effects of global change drivers on terrestrial ecosystems.
