Mission
| Our mission is to develop and analyse global data-driven estimates of land surface carbon and water fluxes as well as vegetation properties. For example, we are integrating in-situ measurements from FLUXNET with satellite remote sensing, and meteorological reanalysis using machine learning techniques to estimate the global spatial and temporal distribution of gross primary production and evapotranspiration. Our products provide improved diagnostics of the contemporary spatial and temporal variability of the global land carbon and water cycle that are increasingly used to evaluate global process-oriented Land Surface Models. We are interested in ecohydrological aspects and conceptual models of carbon water relations that can be constrained by complementary data streams and allow for interpretation and attribution of variability. We want to capitalize on methodological developments, and new space-born data streams such as vegetation fluorescence and terrestrial water storage variations. |  |
