Mark Friedl

Mark Friedl is a Professor at the Department of Earth & Environment. His research uses remote sensing to examine biogeophysical patterns and processes at the Earth’s surface. He is particularly interested in how land land cover and ecosystem properties affect surface climate, how land surface biophysics influence the Earth’s weather and climate system, and more generally, how human activities are shaping the planet and affecting the global biosphere. In 2021, the Hariri Institute awarded Friedl support for his project in collaboration with NASA JPL, “Land Cover Data Science Framework”.
