In mid-June, Oscar gave a tour of his equipment at the Cedar Mesa AmeriFlux site (also part of the Utah Flux Network) to a group of about 10 researchers and professionals who were part of the “Water & Energy Flux in the Desert” workshop led by Paul Inkenbrandt (Utah Geological Survey). A highlight for the participants was Oscar’s sap flow instruments, and discussion topics included how the collected data could be used to quantify specific components of the ecosystem water budget. Oscar noted, “Thank you to Paul for the opportunity and all workshop participants for their attention!”
