Chamber Measurements in the Alligator River Site underway
In the summer of 2024, we started doing some chamber measurements of methane flux at the Alligator River site. Sebastian is interested in knowing how trees affect the transport of methane to the atmosphere so he developed a sampling campaign that includes soil and stem chamber flux measurements. Sampling in this peatland is a bitContinue reading “Chamber Measurements in the Alligator River Site underway”
Darian’s research featured in the SECASC Research Spotlight
Timberlake Tower Installed!
In December 2023 we installed our Timberlake Tower to study methane fluxes from restored wetlands in the North Carolina Coast. It was a lot of preparation. In collaboration with our colleagues Marcelo Ardon, John King, and Maricar Aguilos, we instrumented a telescoping moving tower with a methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapor analyzer. After severalContinue reading “Timberlake Tower Installed!”
Lake Wheeler Trip with the Full Team
We had a great time doing some work on the Lake Wheeler tower, setting up some instruments and taking down others. It was Sebastian and Darian’s first day working at the Lake Wheeler tower. Sep 2023.
The iBiomet Lab participates in the State of the Sciences
The State of the Sciences is the College of Sciences’ most important public science and outreach event and took place on April 14, 2023, at the Hunt Library, Raleigh, NC. Camilo and Jagriti participated in the event to familiarize the general public with atmospheric sciences instrumentation and discuss how atmospheric instrumentation is used to understand howContinue reading “The iBiomet Lab participates in the State of the Sciences”
Methane hot spot detection technique highlighted on EOS by AGU.
Our work on detecting hot spots of methane flux was selected for featuring as an Editor’s Highlight on Eos.org: https://eos.org/editor-highlights/sleuthing-for-culprits-of-greenhouse-gas-emissions. We are very honored and grateful to receive this recognition.
Jagriti Suneja joins the iBiomet Lab
We welcome the arrival of Jagriti Suneja to the Integrative Biometeorology Lab. Jagriti holds a bachelors degree in Botany and a master’s degree in environmental management and has great experience working on air quality research at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-D). She joins as a PhD student and will be working on projectsContinue reading “Jagriti Suneja joins the iBiomet Lab”
New Paper on Methane Hot Spot Detection
PI Camilo Rey-Sanchez has published his work on Detecting Hot Spots of Methane Flux Using Footprint-Weighted Flux Maps This paper presents a tool to detect hot spots of methane flux and other trace gases around eddy covariance towers and it can be applied using the following code: https://github.com/Camilo-Rey/Footprint-Weighed-Flux-Maps
Ceilometer CL61 has been installed!
I am very happy to announce that the ceilometer for measuring cloud base heights and boundary layer heights has been installed in the Lake Wheeler Road Station. In the back of the picture is PhD student Roger Turnau, who is interested in using boundary layer heights to understand heat waves and in the front PI CamiloContinue reading “Ceilometer CL61 has been installed!”
