Ecological Society of America (ESA) is the nation’s leading professional society of ecologists, representing 10,000 scientists, researchers, policy-makers, and managers from the United States and over 50 other nations. 2022 ESA annual meeting was held in Montreal, Canada, from August 14 to August 19. Wei Chen, a Ph.D. student supervised by Dr. Yuyu Zhou, delivered an oral talk about improving land surface temperature estimates at an hourly scale for thermal and ecological assessment.  Click here to see her presentation. With the help of land surface temperature at a high spatial and temporal resolution, policymakers can better design and plan urban infrastructures, such as power transmission systems and green spaces, to improve the urban environment's eco-environmental quality and thermal well-being.
