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 the Austin Cary Forest Center (University of Florida) near Gainesville, FL on July 22-23, 2025. An optional site visit to the Ordway-Swisher Biological Station and the NEON tower site will occur on July 23rd.
Registration for the workshop is FREE but attendees are responsible for any travel/hotel costs. Snacks and lunch on July 22th will be covered for in-person attendees.
