Yongwei Sheng is a Professor at the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at the University of California, Los Angeles. He holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Science from the University of California, Berkeley, attained in 2000, and a Master of Engineering in Earth Sciences from Zhejiang University, China. With extensive research experience, his interests lie primarily in Geospatial Information Systems Technologies (GIST), encompassing remote sensing, photogrammetry, and geographic information systems (GIS). His work focuses on large-area environmental monitoring and assessment using these advanced technological tools, which are critical in scenarios where field data collection is either challenging or financially infeasible. Sheng is dedicated to enhancing the scientific and methodological dimensions of GIST, tackling natural resource and environmental challenges through innovative research projects. His current research aims to explore global lake dynamics within the framework of global change, particularly in areas vulnerable to climate change such as the Tibetan Plateau and pan-Arctic regions, and he is actively involved in several NSF and NASA funded projects.
