Public Engagement
|
Dr. Pierrat gave a lecture at the Earth to Sky series at Channel Islands National Park where she shared research from the PIE Lab and resources for using and interpreting remote sensing data. The Earth to Sky Partnership nurtures and supports a growing community of interpreters, educators and scientists learning and sharing science and communication techniques. Their community of practice develops interpretive and educational products and programs for use in refuges, parks and other sites of place-based education.

Linking Optical and Energy Fluxes Workshop
|
Dr. Pierrat was the lead organizer for the FLUXNET funded "Linking Optical and Energy Fluxes" Workshop. 40 scientists representing a wide range of disciplines, geographies, and career stages gathered at Niwot Ridge Mountain Research Station to start building an international community connecting remote sensing and ecosystem flux science. The group discussed opportunities, challenges, and next steps with respect to using remote sensing to estimate terrestrial water, energy, and carbon fluxes.
