Biometeorology at the University of Minnesota
Heat and mass transfer between the biosphere and atmosphere can have important consequences for the climate system, ecosystems, natural resources, and human health. We use micrometeorological theory, models, and measurements to improve our understanding of the biophysical processes and feedback mechanisms that control heat and mass transfer at the Earth-Atmosphere interface.

Our current emphasis involves the combination of micrometeorological and optical stable isotope techniques to answer important questions related to carbon, water, and nitrogen cycling at spatial scales ranging from a plant leaf growing in a small cuvette, to whole plants growing in a large climate-controlled mesocosm, to a complex heterogeneous landscape based on tall tower boundary layer observations.
