The projects performed in the laboratory can be divided into two general categories: Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics.

PAnEn: Parallel Analog Ensemble

Primary Investigator: Weiming Hu.

Probabilistic prediction of extreme weather events using the Analog Ensemble technique

Primary Investigator: Martina Calovi.

Dynamically Optimized Unstructured Grid (DOUG) for Analog Ensemble

Primary Investigator: Weiming Hu. Co-Primary Investigator: Michael Mann, PSU; Shanteanu Jha, Rutgers University.

The primary sponsor for these projects is the Office of Naval Research. Most of the project focus on the fusion of massive amounts of data from heterogeneous sources, including but not limited to satellite and aerial remote sensing data, atmospheric numerical models, ground sensors, crowd sourced measurements and social media.

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Streamflow Estimation

Primary Investigator: Courtney Jackson; Co-Primary Investigator: Alfred Kalyanapu, Tennessee Technological University

Multiple Geometry Atmospheric Correction for Image Spectroscopy using Deep Learning

Primary Investigator: Fangcao Xu. Co-Primary Investigator: Guido Cervone, PSU and Mark Salvador, Zi INC.
