Alex receives the NSF CAREER award
The project will use CARDAMOM to study spatial patters in ecosystem parameters. Can more informative alternatives to PFTs be derived across the globe from remote sensing?
Alex has won an NSF CAREER grant from the Terrestrial Ecosystems program at NSF. The intellectual thrust of this five year grant will be to use CARDAMOM to study spatial patters in ecosystem parameters. That is, can more informative alternatives to plant functional types be derived across the globe from remote sensing data? The project will consider several ecosystem parameters, but particularly consider those related to heterotrophic respiration.
