Examine Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF) along with visible to near infrared reflectance in high latitude ecosystems using a FLoX (Fluorescence Box, JB Hyperspectral) mounted on the flux tower. In addition to measurements of leaf level electron transport rate (ETR) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) were collected using MoniPAM Fluorometer.
This request is part of the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) Molecular Observation Network (MONet) to provide advanced soil physical, chemical and biological characterization of soil cores from all ecoregions within the United States.
Investigate which seasonal snowpack properties impact predator-prey dynamics, and the key processes driving those properties.
Better understand bi-directional exchange of ammonia between the atmosphere and forests in Rocky Mountain National Park. Objectives include a combination of gradient flux measurements on the NEON tower, measurements of canopy, litter and soil chemistry, and air-surface exchange modeling.
Examine Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF) along with visible to near infrared reflectance in a high latitude (arctic tundra) ecosystems using a FLoX (Fluorescence Box, JB Hyperspectral) mounted on the flux tower. In addition to measurements of leaf level electron transport rate (ETR) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) from a MoniPAM Fluorometer.
This request is part of the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) 1000 Soils Project to provide advanced soil physical, chemical and biological characterization of soil cores from all ecoregions within the United States.
Use the NEON Arctic shallow groundwater sampling methods to monitor for the Bacillus anthracis and other harmful bacteria and viruses.
Request to borrow 30 beetle pitfall trap sets (trap covers, spikes, and spacers) from D18/19. Collecting terrestrial insect samples from a non-NEON site (Icy Cape, AK as part of a Battelle project with the US Navy. Samples will be collected using beetle pitfall traps and composited to produce enough tissue sample volume to analyze for organic contaminants, PCBs, Pesticides, and metals. This project occurred in the Alaskan Arctic along the Chukchi Sea.
