Andrew served as one of several guest editors for the special issue just published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, “Land-Atmosphere Interactions: Integrating surface flux and atmospheric boundary layer measurements“. The special issue emerged from the 2021 virtual workshop coordinated between AmeriFlux and DOE’s ARM User Facility and DOE’s ASR and ESS programs. An overview paper, led by Celia Faiola (UC Irvine), served to introduce the topic and summarize key contributions of the papers in the special issue.

Professor Ryan Emanuel, a hydrologist from Duke’s Nicholas School of the Environment and member of North Carolina’s Lumbee tribe, visited campus for a presentation in the Ecoinformatics Seminar. Ryan’s seminar focused on the idea that scientific research can be informed, strengthened, and even transformed through deep integration of environmental justice thought and practice. He used examples from long-term partnerships with Indigenous communities in North Carolina aimed at understanding the impacts of industrial livestock production, fossil fuel infrastructure, and climate change to wetlands and other culturally significant environments.
