Flux Course Learning Objectives

1. To understand the fundamentals of measuring fluxes of carbon (and other gases) using a mass balance approach, including instrumentation, and best practices for sensor and tower placement.

2. To understand the complexities and assumptions implicit in gas exchange and eddy covariance methods. 

3. To understand the uses and limitation of data products derived from flux measurements. 

4. To expose students to best practices for synthesizing flux observations across scales and sites, and including complementary and alternative approaches (e.g. remote sensing).

5. To understand the key fluxes of the global carbon cycle. 

6. To understand the key components of land surface models. 

7. To understand how data and models can be combined to provide understanding of key carbon cycle components.
