Kyaw Tha Paw U is Professor of Atmospheric Science and Biometeorology at UC Davis. His research examines interactions between vegetation and the atmosphere, with particular emphasis on turbulent exchanges of water, energy, carbon dioxide, and other trace gases. He combines field observations, theoretical approaches, and numerical modeling to study biometeorology, micrometeorology, evapotranspiration, and land–atmosphere interactions. He is also one of the developers of the Advanced Canopy-Atmosphere-Soil Algorithm (ACASA), which links ecosystem processes with regional and global atmospheric models.
