RESEARCH: New Tower Furthers the Important Role of Innovative Climate Research and Monitoring at JDSF
New technology is coming to JDSF! With the installation of a flux tower and the cooperation of a multiagency team, researchers will be able to gather continuous measurements of how much carbon, water, and energy are entering and leaving an ecosystem over time. The new tower will also monitor how changes in weather are affecting the health of an ecosystem. Long-term, the tower can estimate how climate change is affecting an ecosystem.
This is the first time a flux tower has been installed in California’s redwood forest ecosystem, joining a national network of towers across an enormous variety of forest types to provide critical climate change and forest health information.
