Welcome to my website!
About me
I am Miao Zhang, a visiting scholar at the Dept. of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, UC Berkeley collaborating with Prof. Trevor Keenan. I am also a lecturer at NUIST (Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology).
My Research
I work on studying the interactions between vegetation and droughts and applying eddy covariance, remote sensing, machine learning models, and land surface models to analyze climate extreme's impacts under climate change. My research aims to help predict and mitigate the effects of droughts on ecosystems.
