Tower, this is ghost rider requesting a flyby… Check out this shot captured by our phenocam at our US-HB1 tidal salt marsh site. We use these cameras to track plant phenology by taking a series of photographs through time, but caught a (grumpy?) bird mid-flight at this instance.
In this article I talk about what it means to be measuring the “Breathing of the Biosphere”, offer some foundational information about climate science, and introduce our eddy covariance flux instruments. The photo above is of our lab technician Mike Kline and myself installing a methane sensor on our latest tower, US-HB4, located above a managed brackish wetland.
