Research experience
09/2016-09/2018
Project: Exploration of Forest Fire Monitoring Methods Based on MODIS and ETM+ Remote Sensing Data.
Main research content: Calculation of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and NBR (Normalized Burn Ratio); construct fire point index through brightness temperature.
Responsibilities: This is a scientific research training project. I completed the project as the captain of a three-member research team, mainly responsible for data processing and article writing. In the end, the project won the sixth place in the college's research training competition.
09/2020-12/2021
Project: (1) Research on the spatial pattern and genesis of alpine pines. (2) Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition Program.
Responsibilities: I participated as an assistant in the field data survey for both projects. I was mainly responsible for vegetation surveys (surveying plant species, biomass and other basic information) and soil sampling and processing.
