Sami Rifai Ph.D. candidate in the School of Forest Resources and Conservation at the University of Florida, supervised by Dra Stephanie Bohlman and Dr. Jeff Chambers). Sami spent June-July 2014 visiting our research group at INPE. His dissertation research has primarily focused upon examining how catastrophic wind disturbance affects tree diversity within the northwestern. Amazon. Currently, Sami is using MODIS to examine the size-frequency distribution of large blowdown events in the northwestern Amazon. Results: Increased Frequency of Large Blowdown Formation in Years With Hotter Dry Seasons in the Northwestern Amazon, SW Rifai, LO Anderson, S Bohlman, AGU Fall Meeting, 2015 Abstracts |
