[Eoas-seminar] TOMORROW MET seminar Dr. Jangho Lee

[eoas-seminar at lists.fsu.edu]

Dear all,

We will have Dr. Jangho Lee of the University of Chicago Illinois visiting us for the MET seminar tomorrow.
Dr. Lee is an expert in machine learning and has also led multiple interdisciplinary research projects on extreme weather risk (esp. heat waves) - social inequalities and vulnerabilities.
Jangho's website: https://jangholee.com

He is available for meetings tomorrow so let me know if you talk to Jangho.

Best,
Chelsea


MET SEMINAR
DATE: Tuesday February 27
SEMINAR TIME: Refreshments at 3 PM, Talk 3:15 - 4:15 PM
SEMINAR LOCATION: EOA 1044 (Speaker in person)
SPEAKER: Dr. Jangho Lee<https://jangholee.com/>

TITLE: Urban Land Surface Temperatures: Importance, Measurement, and Multidisciplinary Applications

ABSTRACT: Land Surface Temperature (LST) measurements are crucial, particularly in urban settings, due to the fact that over 80% of the U.S. population resides in cities, which occupy only 3% of the country's land area. In this seminar, the significance of temperature monitoring within urban environments will be discussed, alongside an exploration of various methodologies currently employed. A particular focus will be placed on the use of satellite technology for urban temperature monitoring. Initially, the seminar will showcase the application of GOES-R satellites in analyzing the diurnal characteristics of the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) effect across 120 major U.S. cities. A clustering method will be employed to categorize SUHI patterns and identify underlying factors influencing these patterns. Subsequently, the seminar will show the integration of GOES-R and ECOSTRESS LST estimates, highlighting a novel approach that employs a machine-learning (specifically, XGBoost) based method for downscaling GOES-R data to ECOSTRESS resolution. This technique's potential to mitigate socioeconomic disparities within the Chicago area will also be examined, showcasing the broader implications of advanced LST measurement technologies.
