In mid-January, Jacob made a trip to the New Mexico desert for the annual Sevilleta LTER All-Hands Meeting. The All-Hands Meeting brings together Sevilleta scientists, land managers, and community members for a couple days of research updates, field visits, and collaboration creation. The meeting took place at the Sevilleta Field Station this year, which meant lots of lowkey science chats over meals and catching up with distant colleagues like Drew Peltier, former lab postdoc now an assistant professor at UNLV. Jacob presented a poster on his Mean-Variance Experiment (MVE) creosote physiology ideas and a talk about what the MVE PhenoCams are teaching us about biosphere-atmosphere interactions in drylands. Andrew shared a pre-recorded talk describing the history of PhenoCams at the Sevilleta. Photos show the group dinner after the first day of the meeting and the MVE PJ on a bluebird day.
