Welcome to GERS Laboratory!
WELCOME TO THE GERS LABORATORY!
Human, as the only dominant species on Earth, has been changing the Earth's surface throughout its existence, which has greatly threatened the sustainability, biodiversity, and ecosystems of the Earth. Satellite remote sensing is one of the most powerful tools for observing the Earth’s surface because of its repeated synoptic collection of consistent measurements.
A central research theme of GERS laboratory is to understand how the world is changing based on quantitative remote sensing. We are interested in using a variety of remote sensing sensors, such as drones, small satellites, Landsat, Sentinel-2, MODIS, VIIRS, LIDAR, and Radar to monitor environmental change at regional to global scales.
The GIFs below illustrate the land-water dynmaics, forest change, urban disturbance, and agricultre practice from 1982 to present based on all available Landsats 4-8 images (thousands of images for each image chip!).

All Recovery Meetings are available for UConn students - undergrad and graduate students from any UConn campus are welcome to attend. The meetings are a gathering for all who struggle with addiction, are affected by addiction, and/or support the recovery lifestyle. An All Recovery meeting is ‘non-denominational' meaning all pathways of recovery are embraced here. A universal recovery topic is chosen and then the group discusses it. It is not affiliated with any “Anonymous” program although you are likely to hear comments associated with 12 step fellowships. Meetings are facilitated by a Recovery Coach and held online this summer on Mondays at 10:30 a.m for one hour.

Patent Agent: Career Paths and Patent Bar
Monday, July 26th, 2021
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Other Webex
A career in patent law is not only for attorneys. If you have the requisite scientific and technical qualifications, you can work as a patent agent for a law firm preparing and prosecuting patent applications before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This talk will discuss a typical career path for a patent agent, both in a law firm and corporate environment. We will also discuss the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) which governs the patent application process and the patent bar that will test you on your knowledge of the MPEP.
Presented by Ballard Spahr and Casimir Jones
