Sophie recieved her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020. She graduated with a double major in Atmospheric Science and Applied Mathematics, as well as a minor in 2D Studio Art. She has been working in Dr. Stoy's lab since fall of 2022, and her work so far includes: writing Python script to clean and process Ameriflux data, using the data package hesseflux to partiton GPP and RECO from Ameriflux carbon flux measurements for years 2012-2022, combining Ameriflux data with GOES-R data based on a half-hourly timestamp for years 2017-2022, publishing datasets to the Environmental Data Initiative, and lastly, creating this website!

Danielle Losos is a post-bachelor researcher working at the Space Science and Engineering Center in Madison, WI. In the Stoy Lab, Danielle brings her expertise in optical remote sensing, GIS and cloud-computing into the realm of carbon cycle modeling. Also at UW-Madison, Danielle is developing an operational tool to map the burn severity of wildland fires in near-real time. Prior to this position, Danielle worked for GOES-R geostationary satellite program at NOAA/NASA and graduated from Yale College with a B.S. in Environmental Science.

Sadegh is a remote sensing specialist currently pursuing a PhD degree in Biological Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the lab of Dr. Paul Stoy. His research focuses on real-time gross primary productivity (GPP) estimation utilizing geostationary satellites and machine learning techniques. Sadegh earned a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Surveying and Geomatics Engineering and a Master of Science degree in Remote Sensing Engineering in 2017 and 2021, respectively, from the College of Engineering at the University of Tehran. His research interests lie in the analysis of diverse remote sensing datasets using artificial intelligence and machine learning methodologies for applications in urban and agro-environmental contexts.

Ojaswee's research interests include utilizing remote-sensing satellite and carbon flux data and tools to understand the terrestrial (vegetation) ecosystem. She will focus on vegetation response and resilience during extreme weather and events with the goal of understanding the factors that can create sustainable, biodiverse ecosystems in semi-natural and working-landscapes. Ojaswee is a PhD student in the Forest and Wildlife Ecology department, and has a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and Master’s in Earth and Environmental Resources Management and in Integrative Biology. She has a wide range of research experiences including butterfly ecology for species conservation, ecological engineering of agricultural rice systems using eco-friendly biological pest-control, species-environmental quality modeling using GIS and assessing impacts of extreme weather on vegetation productivity using remote sensing.

Paul Stoy is an ecosystem ecologist who studies the surface-atmosphere exchange of greenhouse gases, water, and heat. Other research interests include understanding the role of land use, land management, and conservation in the climate system, regional climate processes, and of course remote sensing of terrestrial ecosystems, some of which is described here. When not working -- or even sometimes when working -- he can be found chasing after kids and puppies.
