Dr. Wang’s research focuses on terrestrial remote sensing and quantitative modeling in natural resources analysis and mapping. He is particularly interested in remote sensing of dynamics of landscape and land change science. His research projects include mapping and monitoring changes of ecological conditions in different spatial and temporal scales of coastal environments, wetlands, mountainous regions, protected areas, and urban landscapes, in order to improve understanding of intertwined human and natural systems, and the sustainability, vulnerability, resilience of land and water resources. His study areas include various regions in the United States, East and West Africa, and China.
