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.
This workshop will be held at Texas A&M University (WFES building) in College Station, TX on Aug 19th, 2025. An optional site visit to the Davy Crockett National Forest AmeriFlux site (US-CRK) will occur on Aug 20 (half day).
Registration for the workshop is FREE but attendees are responsible for any travel/hotel costs. Snacks and lunch on Aug 19th will be covered for in-person attendees. Remote participation is possible.
