Bridging the Gap Between Flux measurements and Models
The Fluxcourse is a two week early-career workshop focused on the foundations of land-atmosphere flux measurement, modeling, and synthesis. It is held annually at the U. of Colorado Mountain Research Station at Niwot Ridge (USA).
MeasurementsLearn the foundations of leaf- and ecosystem-scale flux measurements, including best practices for eddy-covariance tower installation, data processing, and quality control. |
SynthesisExplore flux tower network resources (including AmeriFlux, FLUXNET, and NEON), and learn best practices for synthesizing these data across sites and with other sources of information. |
ModelingGain an understanding of the building blocks of terrestrial ecosystem models, and experiment with state-of-the-art approaches for model-data assimilation and forecasting. |
The course content blends classroom based lectures with hands-on field practicums, group and individual projects, and coding sessions. Each year, the course hosts ~25 early career scientists, with instruction provided by ~20 leading international experts in flux measurement, synthesis and modeling.
