Open Science Grid (OSG) school 2024 travel award and BLSP
I am honored to get a travel award from the OSG Consortium at University of Wisconsin-Madison to attend OSG School 2024. I will use their High-Throughput Computing (HTC) technology to scale up my Bayesian Land Surface Phenology (BLSP) mapping.

Does chilling explain the divergent response of spring phenology to urban heat islands?
This NASA-funded project aims to test the hypothesize that the divergent spring phenology trends in urban areas can be explained by the interaction between UHI-induced seasonal temperature changes and variable plant chilling requirements—the need of plants to be exposed to sufficiently low temperatures to release dormancy in spring.
