- 2019 AmeriFlux Early Career Workshop Participants (posted after Friday, August 16th)
The AmeriFlux Early Career workshop aims to familiarize participants with various Earth science data exploration and analysis tools. After the workshop, participants will be able to advance their own research using these tools. Additionally, the workshop will offer early career scientists opportunities to expand their research network and to initiate new collaborative projects. Participants will choose from breakout sessions:
- Access and analysis of NEON land-atmosphere flux data,
- Combine PhenoCam with flux observations,
- Analysis of methane flux data, and
- Query and calculate site characterization data through Google Earth Engine.
The data workshop will be followed by a visit and guided tour at NEON Headquarters and a social get-together at a local brewery.
