Education

Ph.D., 1988, British Columbia

Research

  • Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions, exchange of CO2, water vapor and energy between forests and the atmosphere
  • Boundary Layer Meteorology, boundary layer development over complex surfaces
  • 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
