Remote Sensing of Environmental Change in Cold Region
FY 2023-24
Summary
This research will support the emerging spectrum of environmental issues throughout cold regions,
more specifically, lake ice as a sentinel of climate change. It will study the response of Northern
large lakes and incorporate satellite observations of surface and subsurface processes in
mesoscale numerical models. The research program will focus on the following themes: 1)
understanding past, present, and projection of Northern lake ice phenology and thickness, 2)
investigating the interplay between ice condition variability and lake water attributes 3)
characterization and projection of lake ice subsurface-surface-atmosphere interaction and
exchange processes in a changing climate using advanced remote sensing techniques.
