Specifically, I work on constraining carbon fluxes into the land biosphere using satellite data. My goal is to maximize the use of satellite data by extracting relevant information and connecting it to the development needs of land surface models, enabling direct comparisons. To attain this goal I collaborate with a wide range of experts, working across scales\u2014from global land surface model runs to model theory development\u2014while also being involved in field and lab measurements.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2653 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/lemontree\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/190\/2025\/03\/Catherine-morfopoulos-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/lemontree\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/190\/2025\/03\/Catherine-morfopoulos-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/lemontree\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/190\/2025\/03\/Catherine-morfopoulos-rotated.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Catherine is a PDRA at Imperial College London working with Prof Colin Prentice.
