The Meng Lab (https://my.vanderbilt.edu/lin-meng/) at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Vanderbilt University is seeking a post-doctoral scholar and a fully funded PhD student interested in vegetation dynamics using remote sensing, in situ
observation, and modeling. The Meng Lab aims to answer key ecosystem questions: How do climate change and human activities affect terrestrial ecosystems? We study the response of plants to climate changes and human activities such as urbanization and deforestation.
Specific areas of interest include:</div>
