Introduction to Using Direct Flux Measurements for Immediate Societal Benefits

Become familiar with direct real-time measurements of GHG emissions and uptakes into and out of the air, and direct evapotranspiration and heat flux measurements, made using the eddy covariance method, a high-precision technique that is now used in areas such as industrial monitoring, evaluating carbon sequestration efforts, production agriculture, emissions regulations, and many other applications that inform societal response to global environmental challenges.

In this webinar, George Burba discusses the 2022 edition of his book Eddy Covariance Method for Scientific, Regulatory, and Commercial Applications, which was written for both scientists and non-scientists working on issues related to climate change and the environment. He provides an overview of:

• Eddy covariance theory and principles
• Experiment design and implementation
• Data processing and analysis
• Flux station networking
• Research and industrial applications
