This year’s workshop is at the Mountain Research Station, near the Niwot Ridge Forest AmeriFlux site. It is also close to where the AmeriFlux Annual PI Meeting will take place in Golden CO, directly after this workshop. If you want to suggest a topic for the workshop, contact the organizers Sébastien Biraud (Tech) and Deb Agarwal (Data). Just like past workshops, your suggestions are always very welcome!
