The LEES Lab, directed by Dr. Jiquan Chen, at the University of Toledo was established in August 2001.  Its previous home was located in the Michigan Technological University between 1993 and 2001.  We are interested in scientific investigations of carbon and water cycle, biological diversity, climate change and ecosystem responses, fire and other natural disturbances in managed landscapes, pattern-process relationship at various spatial and temporal scales, and biofuel energy and sustainable management based on sound field experiments, state-of-the-art of technology, modeling, and remote sensing products.  LEES is also the home of UT's CESU Program, the Landscape Ecology Working Group (8.01.02) of the IUFRO, US-China Carbon Consortium (USCCC), and UT's NEON Team.  LEES maintains a high ethic standard for professional collaborations.
