The AmeriFlux network is growing and we see an opportunity to connect teams to foster networking, knowledge sharing, and support between new and experienced PIs, site technicians, early career scientists and students. This is a one-day workshop aiming to bring site teams in the region together and create a lively space to discuss all things eddy covariance. An optional site visit will be held on the following day.
This workshop will be held at New Mexico State University (Wooton Hall) in Las Cruces, NM on Aug 20-21.
Registration for the workshop is FREE but attendees are responsible for any travel/hotel costs. Snacks and lunch on August 20th will be covered for in-person attendees.
