Dr. Weng is an Associate Editor of
ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing, and the series editor for both
Taylor & Francis
Series in Remote Sensing Applications, and
McGraw-Hill Series in
GIS&T.
He is currently a national
director of
American Society for Photogrammetry
and Remote Sensing (ASPRS, 2007-2010). 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. In 2008, Dr. Weng was
awarded a senior fellowship from NASA.
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.
