- SEMINAR: Estimating and predicting greenhouse gas fluxes in the Arctic
- Posted on July 1, 2015 The hydrological, cryogenic, topographic, environmental, biotic,and metabolic heterogeneity of terrestrial ecosystems and land-scapes can be large even despite a seemingly homogeneous land-scape. The error of estimating and simulating fluxes due to the existing heterogeneity is commonly overlooked in regional and global estimates. Here we evaluate the pattern and controls on spatial heterogeneity on CH4 and CO2 fluxes over varying spatial scales. Data from the north slope of Alaska from chambers, up to a 16 year CO2 flux record from up to 7 permanent towers, over 20 portable tower locations, eddy covariance CH4 fluxes over several years and sites, new year-around CO2 and CH4 flux installations, hundreds of hours of aircraft concentration and fluxes, and terrestrial biosphere data driven models and flux inverse modeling, are used to evaluate the spatial variability of fluxes and to better estimate regional fluxes. Significant heterogeneity of fluxes is identified at varying scales from sub-meter scale to>100km.
- CREST Student wins GRTSP Scholarship
- Posted on May 24, 2015 Andrea Gomez and Carlos Carrizo, wins GRTSP Scholarship. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Graduate Research and Training Scholarship Program (GRTSP) is a pilot program designed to provide opportunities for graduate students supported at the Educational Partnership Program with Minority Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI) Cooperative Science Centers. Scholars are required to participate in experiential opportunities at a NOAA facility with guidance from a NOAA mentor
