Presentation Transcript

  1. Photosynthesis, Flux Tower Data and Spectroscopy: Spring Break 2013 Sean DuBois M.S. E&R EOT 4/5/13

  2. Study Area • Southern California • Climate Gradient • Desert • Grassland • Coastal Sage • Oak-Pine Forest • Agriculture

  3. Methods • Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer • NASA ER-2 • Gas exchange on leaves • Spectroscopy at the leaf and canopy level

  4. Projected results • Generate photosynthesis maps • Motivation for implementing Hyper Spectral camera on future satellites • Gather information on a regional/global scale

  5. Impacts • Land cover change • Examine how such change influences local carbon cycle via change in vegetation • Climate Impacts • Allow for understanding regional and global changes in carbon cycle through changes in forest canopies under changing climate • Such data will assist in better climate models
