We are the Remote Sensing for Ecology Lab at the Institute of Ecology, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University (PKU-RE). Our lab focuses on the development and application of remote sensing techniques—including LiDAR, radar, and optical imagery—to understand and investigate the three-dimensional structures and functions of natural and urban ecosystems, with a primary focus on vegetation. We have developed a variety of algorithms and datasets to support ecological research and have used these tools to address a broad range of fundamental ecological questions. This work has been published in leading journals including Science, Nature Climate Change, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), National Science Review, and Ecology.
