Dr.Ju works as a Remote Sensing Scientist in the Biospheric Sciences Laboratory (code 618). He is interested in satellite-data-based vegetation dynamics study from continental to global scales. He received his BS from China’s Northwest University in 1993 and PhD from Boston University in 2004, all in geography.
