I am a Research Assistant Professor at UNH. My primary collaborators are David Hollinger (USDA Forest Service) and Scott Ollinger (UNH). Using eddy covariance methods, we are researching carbon fluxes from an ecotonal boreal forest near Howland, Maine, and from a northern hardwoods forest in the White Mountains near Bartlett, New Hampshire. Both sites are part of the AmeriFlux network and contribute data to FLUXNET synthesis projects.
These pictures show two views from the top of our 90-foot flux tower at Bartlett.
View to the north-west View to the north-east
We are using images from digital webcams, mounted on the top of our towers, to quantify the phenology of canopy development and senescence. The picture on the left is from an Axis 211 security camera mounted on the top of the tower, and is updated daily. The picture on the right is from a StarDot NetCam XL 3MP mounted on the top of the 100-foot flux tower at Howland. I presented some of this work at the AmeriFlux Meeting in Boulder, October 17–October 19, 2007 [PPT presentation] and more recently at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, December 10-December 14, 2007 [PPT presentation].
BartCam (left) and HowCam (right). Images taken looking north from the top of
each tower. Updated daily.
As part of a regional phenological monitoring nework, we are expanding this effort to include 12 sites in the northeastern United States and Canada, spanning 8° of latitude and 10 °C mean annual temperature. Five of these sites are instrumented for eddy covariance measurements. Objectives of this project include (1) obtaining a regional perspective on spatial and temporal patterns of phenological variation; (2) using "near" remote sensing as a link between on-the-ground phenological observations and satellite remote sensing; (3) understanding relationships between phenology and fluxes of CO2 and water; and (4) contributing to the National Phenology Network (USA-NPN).
