The course will utilize peer-reviewed literature and textbook excerpts to understand the basic, fundamental components of life on Earth to understand the conditions and environments that are conducive to the emergence and persistence of life on other worlds. Course topics that will be examined include: the definition and requirements of life, the emergence, persistence, and consequence of life on Earth, life beyond Earth, astrobiology, and the search for extant extraterrestrial life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff6bdf2cca0501131aec92b/1612515533058-ERX9XEOCY9AX43Q15607/earth-horizon.jpg Teaching - EEPS 1330 Global Environmental Remote Sensing Introduction to physical principles of remote sensing across the electromagnetic spectrum and application to the study of Earth's systems (oceans, atmosphere, and land). Topics: interaction of light with materials, imaging principles and interpretation, methods of data analysis. Laboratory work in digital image analysis, classification, and multi-temporal studies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff6bdf2cca0501131aec92b/1612515264058-9P5162I683HM3C3V59JF/960x0.jpg Teaching - EEPS 0050 Mars, Moon, and the Earth Space exploration has revealed an astonishing array of surface features on the planets and their satellites. Why are atmospheres on the planets different from Earth's atmosphere? Do other planets represent our past or future environment? Is there life on other planets? The planets and their histories are compared to gain insight and a new perspective on planet Earth. https://www.mustardlabgroup.com/publications daily 0.75 2021-03-19 https://www.mustardlabgroup.com/home daily 1.0 2022-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff6bdf2cca0501131aec92b/1612556352739-8RE73HUP1QYF2WVGAKAA/Untitled%2Bdesign.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff6bdf2cca0501131aec92b/1610158004492-DYEAC8LVIFIJR2KZQLRO/wp2461885.jpg Home Planetary Surfaces and Environments Using aqueous alteration minerals to understand ancient martian environments Evaluating the mineralogic evolution of martian volcanic products through time Remote sensing of the lunar surface to investigate impact and volcanic processes Hyperspectral imaging spectroscopy of planetary materials from lab to rover to orbital scales https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff6bdf2cca0501131aec92b/1610157936226-PBJDTOJ15VAM1UURVYHH/wp2461882.jpg Home - Land Use and Land Cover Change Remote sensing-based characterization and validation of land cover change processes Drivers and ecosystem impacts of landscape changes Climate, ecological and land use drivers of vegetation phenology Interactions between human decision-making, land use and climate change https://www.mustardlabgroup.com/research daily 0.75 2021-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff6bdf2cca0501131aec92b/1612516149070-4JDCUPO0G8LHWJ1KCGCT/io-2.JPG Research - Environmental Sciences https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff6bdf2cca0501131aec92b/1612515898877-3F5PJBM2BJA6SK145VVH/Remote+Sensing+And+Geophysics20190911181319462.jpeg Research - General Research Themes https://www.mustardlabgroup.com/team daily 0.75 2022-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff6bdf2cca0501131aec92b/1642661971822-HLROVVN9Z9QT726QCGK2/HEADSHOT+2022.JPG Team - UI/UX Design Science Communication Data Visualization Justin Li Justin Li is a student at Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design.
