التلوث الضوئي.. التهديد الصامت للكوكب.. يسبب خفض تخزين الكربون في النظم البيئية

كشفت أبحاث جديدة لأول مرة عن مدى تأثير “الضوء الاصطناعي ليلاً” (ALAN) في زيادة الكربون المنبعث من النباتات والحيوانات عبر القارات، دون أي زيادة في امتصاصها للكربون. والنتيجة انخفاض تخزين الكربون في النظم البيئية، مما له آثار كبيرة على نماذج المناخ والميزانيات الكربونية العالمية. أظهرت الدراسة، المنشورة في Nature Climate Change بعنوان “تأثير واسع للضوء الاصطناعي ليلاً على الأيض البيئي”، والتي…

Marcy Litvak will be teaching this year at Flux Course 2019!

We are very excited that Professor Marcy Litvak will be at #fluxcourse this year. Marcy will be teaching about how to bring flux tower networks together to ask ecological questions and formulate and test hypotheses.

At the University of New Mexico, the Litvak lab has been working on biosphere-atmosphere interactions, addressing questions such as how do ecosystem-atmosphere carbon, water, and energy exchange vary across semi-arid biomes? She is an expert in plant and ecosystem physiology. Marcy has been instrumental in the flux course committee. Thank you, Marcy!

Debjani Sihi will be teaching this year at Flux Course 2019!

We are very excited that Debjani Sihi, Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will be teaching at #fluxcourse this year.

Her current work at Oak Ridge aims to develop a comprehensive framework for predicting greenhouse emissions from tropical forest soils and wetlands. Her previous work at University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science was focused on improved understanding and modeling capacity of belowground temperature, moisture, and substrate supply that controls the net soil (and ecosystem) emissions of greenhouse gases using a model-data fusion approach in temperate and boreal transition forests. Debjani has been instrumental in the flux course committee. Thank you, Debjani!

Dario Papale will be teaching this year at Flux Course 2019!

We are very excited that Associate Professor Dario Papale will be returning to #fluxcourse this year. Dario will be teaching about flux processing and scientific inferences that can be made when we ensure quality control across sites.

At the University of Tuscia, in Viterbo - Italy, Dario is responsible for European Fluxes Database and he is the director of the ICOS Ecosystem Thematic Centre. He is an expert in eddy covariance data analysis and in the development of the FLUXNET data collections and standardization across networks of sites. Dario has been instrumental in the flux course committee. Thank you, Dario!

Danica Lombardozzi will be teaching this year at Flux Course 2019!

Danica is a Project Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Her interests are in carbon, water, and energy fluxes focused primarily on plant responses to air pollution and climate.

Understanding these interactions improves our ability to predict how food and other natural resources will change in response to climate. She is also working on improving Earth System models to better understand the uncertainty in simulated carbon cycle projects. Danica has been instrumental in the flux course committee and will be contributing to instruction about modeling and plant responses.

Thank you, Danica!

Also, the flux course application deadline is now March 29th. Please spread the word and thank you all for your support.

Xi Yang will be teaching this year at Flux Course 2019!

Xi is an Assistant Professor for the University of Virginia. He studies vegetation-climate interactions in light of climate change. His work includes spatial ecology, plant physiology, remote sensing, and climate change. Xi develops novel approaches to quantify photosynthesis and leaf traits remotely.

Understanding these interactions helps to improve our understanding of the observation-model gap and thus to improve our prediction of carbon, water, and energy fluxes. Xi has been instrumental in the flux course committee and will be helping students think about remote sensing applications for measuring carbon, water, and energy fluxes.

Thank you, Xi!
