Earth from Space: Contemporary Remote Sensing Research Interests Dr. Weng has
worked in the United States and China on diverse research projects including
such topics as urban expansion, land use and land cover change, urban heat island,
environmental sustainability, and human-environment interactions. Dr. Weng
has published more than 80 refereed journal articles and book chapters, and
is the book series editor of Taylor &
Francis Series in Remote Sensing Applications. Dr. Weng was the recipient
of 1999 Robert E. Altenhofen Memorial Scholarship Award by American Society
for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, and 1998 Best Student Authored Paper
Award by International Geographic Information Foundation. In 2006, he
received the Theodore Dreiser Distinguished Research Award by Indiana State
University, the university’s highest research honor. Dr. Weng is a national
director of American Society for Photogrammetry
and Remote Sensing (ASPRS, 2007-2010). Dr. Weng is
currently principal investigator of a National Science Foundation grant: “Role of Urban Canopy Composition
and Structure in Determining Heat Islands: A Synthesis of Remote Sensing and
Landscape Ecology Approach", and "Indiana Impervious Surface
Mapping Initiative". Additionally, he is working on the project:
”Biodiversity and Habitat in Indiana in 2000". To learn more about Dr.
