This is a wetland site at the San Francisco Bay, historically used for salt extraction, and now restored as a low salinity waterbird habitat. From the parking lot, we will walk approximately 30 mins one-way to the flux tower. The walk is completely flat, on even terrain, mainly gravel trails. Depending on the weather, it can be very sunny or moderately windy. There is no shade available; we strongly recommend to bring sunscreen, a hat and a water bottle. In addition to the site team led by Patty Oikawa, we will meet the Executive Project Manager for the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project Dave Halsing. |
| 12:30-1:15 PM | Picnic Lunch at Eden Landing Ecological Reserve - Working topic: exchanging best practices for wetland towers, siting, instrumentation, maintenance |
| 1:15PM | Adjourn. Optional bus transfer back to the meeting venue. Alternatively, a rideshare can get you from the field visit location to SFO airport in 25 minutes, or to OAK airport in 20 minutes. |
Tuesday, September 10 – Virtual Poster session!
11 AM-1PM Pacific Time/2-4PM Eastern Time
Join us in the virtual poster session for ALL attendees (in-person and virtual). We use an interactive virtual platform where you can ‘walk around’ and look at posters and discuss with presenters. When you are ready, just join us here (no account or download needed). If you would like to present your poster, please send a jpeg or png (<5MB) to cbuechner@lbl.gov as soon as possible!
