Are we there yet? 🤣 Last week we were tasked with digging three 1.6m deep holes in the TRACE site. These cavities will be the homes of 3 soil percolation flux meters. This is in collaboration with Dr. Adam Collins & Dr. Kurt Solander from Los Alamos National Laboratory. 🌱👨‍🔬

Adding sensors to the soil in Panama and the Amazon helps researchers at Oak Ridge Lab, Smithsonian Panama and Berkeley Lab measure how much water 💧 is available to trees as they study how trees are adapting to a changing #climate. NGEE-Tropics

📢We're hiring! Congo Basin Institute is hiring a postdoc to work on tropical forest restoration, land system science, and remote sensing. The position will be hosted at UCLA with frequent travel to Cameroon. Please help spread the word! More info here: elsaordway.weebly.com/job-alert-post…

A projected increasing trend of forest loss from extreme storms urge us to understand more about this interactions. Here we integrate climate and land satellites and found 38 cases to explore the mechanism how extreme storm impact the Amazon forests. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

“Building this link between atmospheric dynamics and damage at the surface is very important across the board” -Jeff Chambers with NGEE-Tropics on how extreme wind events will uproot more trees in the Amazon with climate change 💨 🌴

Some new science with NGEE-Tropics researchers as collaborators shows the effects of water table fluctuation on greenhouse gas emissions from wetland soils in the Peruvian Amazon. Read more in the full article here: doi.org/10.1007/s13157…

New research featuring NGEE-Tropics scientists shows the interplay of turbulence regimes, deep convection, and tree mortality in the Amazon Rainforest. You can read their full article in the link below ⬇️ doi.org/10.1016/j.agrf…

NGEE-Tropics scientists contributed to a study of the sensitivity of optical satellites to estimate windthrow tree-mortality in a central Amazon forest, looking at the interplay of turbulence regimes, deep convection, and tree mortality. Full article here: mdpi.com/2072-4292/15/1…
