Research Interests

  • Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions: exchange of CO2, water vapor and energy between forests and the atmosphere
  • Boundary Layer Meteorology: boundary layer development over inhomogeneous surface
  • Surface-atmosphere exchange over inhomogeneous surfaces: observation and modeling
  • Spatial aggregation modeling of turbulent fluxes: modeling of subgridscale variability in terms of surface texture
  • Source area / footprint modeling for turbulent flux observations over complex surfaces
  • Experimental design and measurement of turbulent surface-atmosphere exchange processes

  • Development of objective methods to scale-up from footprint to ecosystem fluxes
