Junhak Lee teaches Environmental Data Visualization, 3D Mapping with LiDAR, Sensing the Environment (introduction to distributed environmental sensors). He is interested in measuring landscape features using GIS and remote sensing and modeling carbon and water cycle using spatially explicit data. His research interests include the use of spatially explicit data to model carbon and water cycling in natural and built environments and the use of remote sensing technologies in ecological assessments and measurements of landscape performance.
Research Interests
Carbon, energy, and water cycles modeling
- Estimating biomass and carbon sequestration by urban and natural ecosystems under climate change
- The impact of urban vegetation on water cycles for sustainability
- Evapotranspiration modeling using FLUXNET and remote sensing to understand global water cycles
Remote sensing for ecological assessments
- Urban and forest ecosystem modeling by integrating aerial imagery and LiDAR
- Integrating multi-source remotely sensed data for evapotranspiration modeling
- Extracting individual tree level forest eco-physical information from airborne LiDAR
- Object-oriented urban and natural features extraction by using high spatial resolution aerial imagery and airborne LiDAR
Geographic Information Science & Big Data Analysis
- Advanced spatial modeling with geographic effect; Impact of climate change on urban infrastructure (Vulnerability assessment of urban transportation infrastructure due to climate change)
- Environmental indicator & public participatory GIS
- Urban-scale wireless sensor network for environmental monitoring and modeling
