received his PhD degree in geography from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2014. He is
currentlyworkingasaresearcherintheUniversityofCalifornia,LosAngeles.
He focuses his research on developing the applications of remote sensing and geographic
information techniques in large-scale environment monitoring and process modeling. It aims to
contribute to the development of novel scientific, theoretical, and methodological aspects of
geoinformatics techniques to understand how the key environment elements (e.g., water, ice, and
ecosystem) respond to a changing climate and human intervention in High Mountain Asia and
worldwide. His current research work includes (1) developing high-resolution satellite-based lake
hydrographicaldatasets,whichareavailableatglobalscale,and(2)understandinglakewaterstorage
