In December, lab members Austin, Jen, and Darby attended AGU 2025 in New Orleans, held under the theme “Where Science Connects Us.”
Highlights included a poster presentation by Austin titled “Winter Contributions of Root and Microbial Respiration to the Soil CO2 Flux in Mixed-Conifer and Aspen Forests,” a talk by Jen titled “Is Your Thermal Camera Telling the Truth? Assessing Measurement Accuracy for Ecosystem Science,” and a talk by Darby titled “Increasing Respiration Weakens the Carbon Sink over Two Decades in a Temperate Deciduous Forest.”
The lab also contributed to two successful scientific sessions. Mostafa and Jen led the session “Advancing Environmental Monitoring Through Near-Surface Remote Sensing: Capabilities, Applications, and Future Directions,” while Darby served as a convener for the session “Quantifying Rates and Coupling of Biogeochemical Cycles in Terrestrial Ecosystems.”
See you at AGU next year!
