5th Annual Flux Course Video

This summer a few of our staff Scientists had the opportunity to participate in the Niwot Ridge 5^th Annual Flux Course, held in Colorado at the Mountain Research Station (MRS), located approximately 35 km west of Boulder. The course is offered annually to 24 graduate students, post-docs/early career scientists and covers flux measurements at the leaf level; modeling leaf CO₂ and H₂O fluxes; eddy covariance measurements; use of stable isotopes to infer ecosystem-atmosphere fluxes; predictions of fluxes from satellite observations; canopy flux models; assimilation of flux observations and satellite remote sensing data into ecosystem process models; and Bayesian approaches to modeling. LI-COR’s Scientists instructed classes on leaf level flux and eddy covariance measurements. Here is a video summary of the course.
