AmeriFlux Management Project (funded by US DOE) collaborates with AmeriFlux scientists to ensure the quality and availability of the continuous, long-term ecosystem measurements necessary to understand these ecosystems and to build effective models and multisite syntheses. (Read More)
Coast Redwood
We (UC Davis, LBNL, funded by California CALFIRE) are establishing eddy-covariance flux towers at representative coastal redwood forests to measure the ecosystem carbon, water, and energy fluxes. These unique and unprecedented measurements will improve our predictive understanding of coastal redwood forests’ carbon and water cycles and fill a critical knowledge gap in accounting for these forests’ carbon sinks to help achieve California’s carbon neutrality goals.

FLUXNET-CH4
FLUXNET-CH4 is an initiative led by the Global Carbon Project, in close partnership with AmeriFlux and EuroFlux, to compile a global database of eddy covariance methane flux measurements. The near-continuous, high-frequency nature of flux measurements offers significant promise for improving our understanding of ecosystem-scale CH4 flux dynamics. (Read More)
FLUXNET
FLUXNET is an international “network of networks,” tying together regional networks of earth system scientists. FLUXNET scientists use the eddy covariance technique to measure carbon, water, and energy cycling between the biosphere and atmosphere. (Read More)
NW Ohio Flux Cluster
My Ph.D. research focused on the response and biophysical regulation of ecosystem carbon fluxes to recent climatic variability and anomaly in contrasting ecosystems in Northwest Ohio. Our research deployed a cluster of eddy-covariance towers in NW Ohio and used these concurrent, continuous measurements to disentangle the biological and physical modulation. (Read More)
Montane Cloud Forest
My M.S. research focused on the ecohydrology of a subtropical mountain cloud forest in Taiwan. Using cross-scale field and lab measurements (e.g., gas chamber, sap flow, eddy covariance, micrometeorology measurements), I investigated how frequent fogs and rains shape the patterns of canopy wetness, and how canopy wetness modulates the water cycling of the cloud forest.
