2016
November 11, 2016: Remote Sensing Lab conducted a field work in Maricopa, Arizona where a giant field robot and drones laden with hyperspectral, thermal, LiDAR, PSII, and PRI cameras are being used to search for biofuels as the new energy source. The project is funded by the Department of Energy more.

2014
November 20, 2014: Wasit gave a talk at ASPRS Heartland Region Technical Meeting held at Saint Louis University. Title of the presentation: Precision Agriculture Under Changing Climate: A Remote Sensing Approach.
October, 2014: Ethan has traveled to Turkey to present his findings on rare earth mineral detection using remote sensing at an International Conference - 30th International Conference on “Ore Potential of Alkaline, Kimberlite and Carbonatite Magmatism”
October 2014: The lab was awarded a research grant from NASA EPSCoR. We are grateful for this support of our work to look at plant responses to background ozone stress in open air agricultural field!
August 13, 2014: An exceptionally clear day in St. Louis, a special day for our lab! We were able to collect hyperspectral data using NASA's GeoTASO hyperspectral sensor (airborne version of TEMPO)! This allows us to explore the impact of scale when measurements are made at field, airborne and satellite sensors.

Summer 2014: The lab conducted hyperspectral data collections over a number of agricultural test sites in Missouri during the growth period of crops. The goal was to to monitor the impact of climate variability and change on plant productivity by using hyperspectral imaging of plants in natural and agricultural ecosystems. Specifically, our work focused on the impacts of water and ozone stress on crops. Thanks to the hard work and great contributions from all of our lab members!
