Florida Atlantic University - Boca Ratonمعرفی
Dr. Caiyun Zhang is a Professor in the Department of Geosciences at Florida Atlantic University. She holds a Ph.D. in Geospatial Information Sciences from the University of Texas at Dallas, and a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Marine Geology from Ocean University of China. Her research focuses on advanced geospatial methodologies, including hyperspectral and LiDAR remote sensing, machine learning applications, and object-based image analysis for environmental monitoring.
- Education:
- Ph.D. in Geospatial Information Sciences, University of Texas at Dallas
- MS in Marine Geology, Ocean University of China
- BS in Marine Geology, Ocean University of China
Her research spans critical environmental challenges such as coastal vulnerability to sea level rise and hurricanes, permafrost thaw assessment in Alaska, and vegetation dynamics in subtropical wetlands. She integrates multi-sensor systems (LiDAR, hyperspectral, and thermal data) to model complex ecological processes.
Recent publications emphasize machine learning-driven climate modeling for permafrost active layer thickness, fire-induced thaw quantification, and vegetation-carbon flux relationships. Her work bridges remote sensing technology with environmental science to address global climate change impacts.
Dr. Zhang teaches graduate courses including Hyperspectral Remote Sensing (GIS 6127C) and LiDAR Remote Sensing (GIS 6032C), fostering advanced geospatial education.
