In 2017 and early 2018 I completed my Ph.D. dissertation on phenoclimatology in Upper Great Lakes forests using a 30-year record of climate and Landsat remote sensing observations. This work involved the statistical modeling of remote sensing spectral indexes for more than 1200 satellite images at the 30-m pixel scale over nearly 200,000 sq. km, an ideal task for application of UW-CHTC and Open Science Grid (OSG) resources. This work consumed more than 13 million computing hours, advanced our understanding of the forest system in that region, and yielded some insight into the ways massively distributed computing resources can be used in emerging "big data" approaches to Earth observation and remote sensing studies.
