Dr. Mike Wimberly travelled to Sydney, Australia from May 19-June 17 2016 under a Faculty of Science Visiting Research Fellowship from the University of New South Wales. While in Australia, Dr. Wimberly conducted collaborate research on integrated land use and land cover change simulation modeling with Dr. Mirela Tulbure and Dr. Mark Broich in the School of Biological, Earth, and Environmental Science at UNSW.
Dr. Roy & Dr. Hankui Zhang attended and presented their research at the 2016 Living Planet Symposium, Prague, Czech Republic:

Dr. Roy recently gave the following two presentations at NASA Land Cover Land Use Change (LCLUC) meetings:
Roy, D.P., Yan, L., Huang, H., Zhang, H., Li, J., Kumar, S., Cooper, S., Dosch, A., Boschetti, L., Chuvieco, E., Gomez-Dans, J., Lewis, P., Tansey, K., Prototyping a Landsat-8 Sentinel-2 Global Burned Area Product, NASA LCLUC MuSLI Science Team Meeting, Marriott Conference Center, North Bethesda, MD, April 20-21 2016.
Roy, D.P., Yan, L., Zhang, H., Li, J., Satellite derived crop field size information and change, delivered online as part of the NASA LCLUC 2016 Webinar Series, April 28 2016.
Professors Henebry, Roy and Zhang visited the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Beijing, China to finalize a memorandum of understanding between the Geospatial Sciences Center of Excellence and the Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth (RADI). They attended a dedicated series of meetings, including a visit to the Miyun satellite receiving station near the Great Wall of China, and gave research presentations at the CAS Institutes of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth (RADI) and Geographic Sciences & Natural Resources Research.
The Winter 2016 Landsat Science Team Meeting was held in the Newman Library Multipurpose Room, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, January 12-14th 2016. Dr. Roy and members of his research group attended the meeting and participated in team discussions and gave two presentations:
“Initial findings prototyping a Landsat-8 Sentinel-2 global burned area product”, Roy, D.P., Li, J., Zhang, H.K., Huang, H., Dosch, A., Kumar, S.
“WELD Experiences”, Roy, D.P., Zhang, H.K., Votava, P., Dosch, A., Li, J.
