Welcome to Ecology & Remote Sensing Research Group at Nanjing University!

Ecology & Remote Sensing Research Group (EcoRS) study the interactions between atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystem using remote sensing techniques and carbon cycle models. In particular, novel technique such as Sun-Induced chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) is our primary focus. We focus three Key Research Areas:


  • Building a remote sensing network of SIF and spectral measurements for terrestrial ecosystem to bridge the gap between satellite data and field measurements

  • Monitoring vegetation photosynthesis using the remote sensing of SIF and ecosystem models across multiple scales

  • Applications of remote sensing of SIF involving the monitor of climate extremes impacts on carbon cycle and the retrieval of key biochemical parameters
