Sabbatical, June to Sept, 2023

Previously here late Nov to early Dec, 2002. Fluxnet Visitor from Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, Jena, Germany.

Worked on implementing the CANOAK-ISOTOPE model for use at the Hainich EuroFlux/Fluxnet site. We also made improvements to the Dispersion Matrix code that is linked to CANOAK. (we also got him involved in our weekly soccer games and he made us great apple streudel).

Fluxnet collaboration

Markus worked on learning machine learning methods to simulate fluxes everywhere, all of the time

Sept 2013-Sept 2014

Interests include measuring water and carbon fluxes of grasslands in Mongolia

August - October, 2013

Interacting on carbon, water and energy fluxes of Mediterranean ecosystems.

Working on merging FLUXNET and AmeriFlux, advising LBL and the Biomet Lab on next generation FLUXNET database.

Mid August to Mid September, 2002.

Fluxnet Visiting Scientists. Worked on the use of neural networks to fill gaps in data and to produce integrated data sets for spatial integration of fluxes. We also started a synthesis of geographic variation of factors affecting carbon fluxes of ecosystems.
