Dr. Qiaozhen Mu obtained her Ph.D. in Climatology from Peking University, Beijing, China. Dr. Mu worked on General Circulation Models at University of Texas, Austin for two years before she joined University of Montana in November 2003. Currently she is working as Senior Support Scientist at SSAI, MD. Her main area of interests involves further validation of the improved ET in other regions and improvement of the ET algorithm using LandSat Data, the improved ET can help policy makers manage the Water usage (e.g., irrigation water), help Scientist estimate the Groundwater, Drought affects Water Resources, Crop yields, Economy, and Human Life Tremendously, using the improved ET product, the DSI product can be generated to evaluate the effectiveness of the MODIS DSI to detect and monitor the Historic Droughts, if DSI is an effective indicator, then DSI can be used to assess how Drought impacts Vegetation especially Crop Growth at different Growing Stages, hence Crop yields and Economy, a near-real-time system and an early Drought warning system can be set up using Forecast Evapotranspiration and Drought. She is also serving as reviewer for number of journals. She has published 37 research articles in journals as well as 30 oral/poster presentations contributed as author/co-author.
