Welcome to the VIP Lab. site
The Vegetation Index and Phenology (VIP) Lab. is part of
the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at
the University of Arizona. Headed by Dr. Kamel Didan,
this research Lab. is supported by a NASA
Making Earth Science Data Records for Use in Research Environments
(MEaSUREs) collaborative agreement.
The Lab. specializes in desiging and generating consistent, high quality and well characterized
Climate Data Record (CDR)
and Earth Science Data Record (ESDR)
long term multi-satellite data products in support of global change studies.
In collaboration with researchers at Boston University,
University of Hawaii, NOAA/ERT Inc., and the
USGS-EROS LP-DAAC
the VIP Lab. is currently developping and end to end system including science algorithms to produce
global Vegetation Index and phenology ESDR products. The Lab. is also tasked with validation and quality
assurance analysis of these ESDRs. In collaboration with the US-National Phenology Network
(US-NPN) and the US-Southwest Regional Phenology Network
(US-SWRPN) we plan to collect and use in situ (field) data to characterize these ESDR products.
