BLUEFLUX in DC

Drs. David Lagomasino (Coastal Studies) and Sean Charles (Coastal Studies, pictured above) attended the NASA BlueFlux project meeting in Washington, DC. The meeting brought scientists, managers, and practitioners to the table to discuss recent findings from the field data collected over the past two years. Multiple teams from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Yale University, University of Maryland, Everglades Foundation, Seminole Tribe of South Florida, Florida International University, and of course ECU presented on their research focused on measuring carbon dioxide and methane emissions over Everglades National Park. The research project, co-led by Dr. Lagomasino, is one of the first of its kind when it comes to simultaneous measuring carbon emissions from the ground, air, and satellites to understand how cyclones and water management influence how carbon is emitted to the atmosphere.
