Biography
Xuelian Meng is an Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University and Fellow of the Coastal Studies Institute. Her research interest is to apply geospatial technologies to investigate fragile ecosystems that are sensitive to human activities. Specific topics of her research include LiDAR, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), 3D modeling of coastal morphology, image processing, feature extraction and land cover and land use analysis. Her recent studies focus on applying terrestrial LiDAR and UAV for coastal morphological mapping under dense vegetation and fine scale sediment change analysis. She is a life-time Member of the International Association of Chinese Professionals in Geographic Information Sciences (CPGIS), Member of Association of American Geographers (AAG) and American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS).
