Remote sensing can help scientists interpret carbon, water, and energy flux measurements at eddy covariance sites by providing contextual information on community composition and vegetation function, as well as scale fluxes globally. Additionally, flux data can inform remote sensing measurements which do not directly measure carbon and water fluxes.
Workshop goals:
- Build awareness of the existing synergies, challenges, and opportunities between remote sensing and flux science.
- Foster new cross-disciplinary connections to identify and address knowledge gaps and uncertainties associated with both flux and remote sensing data.
- Increase the accessibility, usability, and standardization of remote sensing data so that it can be used to inform flux data, following the FAIR principles.
Attendance/Funding Information:

Attendance is free, as well as lodging for up to 32 participants (preference given to early career). Additional lodging can be found in nearby town of Nederland but will not be covered by the workshop (please specify preference in application). Food will be provided for all participants. A small number of travel grants (air/ground) are available and will be awarded by organizing committee–availability and willingness to help with event logistics and sessions during workshop are a plus.
