Organized by Jen, Mostafa, and Ben Wiebe, and with funding from FLUXNET, AmeriFlux, NAU’s T3 Program in Ecoinformatics, the College of the Environment, Forestry, and Natural Sciences, the Department of Astronomy and Planetary Science, the School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems, the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society, and Campbell Scientific, the Great Thermal Bake-off was a smashing success.
From August 13th to 16th, 40 scientists from over 10 countries gathered at NAU’s Historic Hat Ranch property, just west of Williams, AZ, to discuss advancing the application and standardization of near-surface Thermal Infrared (TIR) remote sensing in ecological research. The workshop included participants from various career stages, with half identifying as early-career researchers, fostering a diverse and collaborative environment.
The main objectives of the workshop were to Enhance Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration an to Promote Standardization and Accessibility, and a key outcome was quantitative data from a series of experiments to characterize the uncertainty in canopy temperature measurements made under real-world conditions.
Congratulations to the organizers on a fantastic event!
