You are invited to attend the Doctoral Dissertation Oral Defense of Falu Hong Department of Natural Resources and the Environment College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources. Dissertation title: Remote Sensing the Human Impact: Mapping Impervious Surface Dynamics, Primary Forest Loss, and Biodiversity Extinction Risk. Date and time: Monday, July 21, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. EST. Location: Room 109, Advanced Technology Laboratory (ATL), Bio Science Complex, University of Connecticut Virtual access: https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/meet/fah20002 Falu Hong's dissertation leverages remote sensing/satellite observations to analyze the human impacts on Earth's environment. The research focuses on: (1) Mapping impervious surface dynamics across the conterminous United States during the past four decades, (2) Decoding primary forest loss in Haiti and the Dominican Republic (3) Forecasting the biodiversity extinction risk by simulating the future land cover changes. All are welcome to join, in person or virtually.
