CarbonFOX Public Presentations

Earth Month - April 2024:

PI Róisín Commane gave a Public talk at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory focused on the links between Air quality and greenhouse gases in New York City:

Clearing the Air: Understanding New York City's Air Quality and Climate 

Thanks to all who joined in person. The lecture was recorded and is available on Lamont's YouTube channel alongside all the previous Lectures.

 

Roisin Commane - Clearing the Air: Understanding New York City's Air Quality and Climate 

July 2023:

PI Róisín Commane presented an overview of our urban carbon work at the 19th International Workshop on Greenhouse Gas Measurements from Space (iWGGMS-19) in Paris, France. A video of the presentation, CarbonFOX: Understanding ecosystem carbon fluxes from city to global scales, is shown below.

CarbonFOX at Conferences and Workshops

May 2024: IWGGMS-20 Workshop

Many of the team will be at the 20th International Workshop on Greenhouse Gas Measurements from Space workshop in Boulder in May 2024. 

December 2023: AGU Fall Meeting

We were delighted for team members that were honored during AGU 2023: 

Congrats Debra and Dave!
