Summer schools are a great opportunity for in-depth learning about subjects that aren’t often covered in graduate-level curricula.
This year, Oscar participated in the 2-week “FluxCourse” (top photo) held at the Mountain Research Station, Niwot Ridge, Colorado, where he learned carbon and water flux measurements from leaves to ecosystems, and applications of remote sensing, modeling and data assimilation, to interpret, extrapolate, and scale fluxes in time and space.
Natasha and Perry participated in the two-week “New Advances in Land Carbon Cycle Modeling” course (bottom photo), organized by collaborator Yiqi Luo, at Cornell. They learned how use process-based modeling, data assimilation, and machine learning to better understand the terrestrial carbon cycle.
