The post describes Krishna's recent research - and its implications - for a lay audience

The paper uses the Sentinel-1 derived LFMC maps Krishna built a few years ago, and focuses on dry lightning events using an RCT approach for robustness.

Thanks to the group's members, alumni, and collaborators for making its continued existence possible!

The position focuses on AI to understand belowground plant water uptake patterns with microwave remote sensing and hybrid physical-ML based data assimilation. Application due 03/20

Congratulations to all awardees, and thanks to Alex's nominator and recommenders and all the group members and collaborators over the years!

We use CARDAMOM to attribute historical C fluxes to climate change and CO2 and show that local respiration responses change the regional distribution of the additional C sink.

We used satellite-derived environmental filtering to parametrize CARDAMOM across the globe and compared the accuracy of flux predictions against a conventional PFT approach.

Please check out the ad for a new postdoc in microwave remote sensing of vegetation water content/leaf water potential. Please apply by January 10th for full consideration

We show missing soil structure effects are part of the reason models get this very wrong. The paper also has a News & Views highlight from Madeleine Pascolini-Campbell (JPL).

Greg's paper (which Alex co-authored) finds that the energy harvested passively by sap ascent is equivalent to the world's hydropower production and ~14% of photosynthetic energy

Alex contributed to the paper, which covers the impacts of soil hydrological processes on ecosystems and climate.

The paper

We find that soil moisture reductions (and associated increases in fire risk) due to climate change are significant relative to current ENSO-related interannual variability.
