EM³: The Center for Ecosystem Measurement, Monitoring and Modeling

The Center for Ecosystem Measurement, Monitoring and Modeling (EM³) is a collaboration of principle investigators, post-docs and graduate students at the University of California, Berkeley. The mission of EM³ is to understand the dynamics of society, nature and the environment by quantifying and predicting temporal and spatial trends. Research is conducted in three primary areas: effects of climate change on ecosystem, effects of society on ecosystem and ecosystem value.

Projects span a variety of research topics, including habitat suitability, resource planning, agriculture, carbon flux, forest valuation and land use change. EM³ uses remote sensing, like satellite imagery and aerial photography, to efficiently and effectively achieve research objectives. Additionally, EM³ employs state-of-the-art computer technology to extract maximum information for measurement and modeling of ecosystem functions.

Research Interests: Remote sensing, spatial-temporal modeling, environment and health, global environmental change.

BS (1984) and MS (1986) from Nanjing University, China; PhD (1990) from University of Waterloo, Canada. Have worked at York University and taught at University of Calgary. Joined Berkeley since 1994. In the 1990s, he developed urban land use classification algorithms in the 1990s and remote sensing measurement techniques for forest inventory purposes and proposed the field of photo-ecometrics. In 2000s, he developed invasive weed mapping techniques. Since 1995, he has been working on the spatial-temporal modeling of schistosomiasis transmission in western China and that interest has been expanded into malaria, avian influenza and plague in recent years.
