The Great Thermal Bake-Off

Jen received funding from FLUXNET to support an in-person workshop, to be held during the summer of 2024 at NAU’s Hat Ranch field station, focused on measurements of canopy temperature using thermal imaging. The workshop has two goals:

1. Cross-Instrument Comparison & Standardization: Establish and test processing standards for thermal instruments through a field campaign, encompassing preprocessing, installation, and post-processing, to ensure consistency and reliability across devices.
2. Build Community Engagement around a ThermalCam Network: Enhance the accessibility and usability of thermal data within the broader scientific community, fostering a supportive network for sharing and innovation.

Congratulations to Jen and her workshop leadership team, which also includes Mostafa and SICCS PhD student Ben Wiebe, on obtaining this funding!
