Happy New Year!
December 2018
The group presented their work at the AGU Fall Meeting in Washington DC:
Luke Schiferl presented his work on understanding the carbon fluxes of Alaskan Tundra in a very well received oral presentation!
Maggie Powell gave a great poster presentation on her work in the Alaskan tundra during the Polaris Project summer fieldwork from 2018
Roisin presented a poster on the group’s work on the impact of African pollution on the tropical Atlantic, that got some attention.
Just before AGU, Roisin and Luke attended the Permafrost Carbon Network annual meeting in Washington DC. As usual, this was an interesting and exciting meeting with lots of interactions and potential collaborations brewing!
The week before AGU, Roisin gave an invited seminar in the Dept of Physics at University of Toronto, with a quick side trip to visit colleagues at Environment and Climate Change Canada.
November 2018
Roisin attended the NASA ATom Science Team meeting in Boulder, CO and presented the group’s work on African air quality.
October 2018
Roisin attended the CO2-USA (CO2 Urban Synthesis and Analysis Network) workshop in beautiful Salt Lake CIty to learn about carbon fluxes from various urban areas in the US.
Roisin also participated in the Arctic Data Center's Permafrost carbon synthesis working group in Santa Barbara, CA (website). With researchers from Germany, Japan, Korea, US, Canada and Finland, we had a great overview of pan-Arctic flux sites and much progress was made!
