Second-year PhD student Oscar Zimmerman was recently awarded research funding through the NAU Support for Graduate Students (SGS) program, which is administered by NAU’s Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR). The title of Oscar’s proposal is “Tracking the seasonality of woodland conifer trees using remote sensing,” and he will be conducting this work in piñon-juniper woodlands in the Southwest, including at the Cedar Mesa AmeriFlux site in southeastern Utah (a PhenoCam image from the site is shown below). Congratulations, Oscar!
