CAP LTER Seminar || Enrique Vivoni
'Water, Carbon and Energy Fluxes in an Urban Park in Phoenix' presented by Enrique Vivoni, Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration and the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment.
The Central Arizona–Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) program advances research and education on urban ecology and urban socioecological systems. It is one of two LTER sites funded by the National Science Foundation that specifically studies urban ecology.
CAP LTER has been a leader in interdisciplinary science, bringing together teams of individuals from different fields to investigate the complex dynamics of the Phoenix metropolitan area and surrounding Sonoran Desert.
Educating the next generation of urban ecologists is a core mission of the CAP LTER. The Ecology Explorers program engages K-12 students and teachers, while undergraduate and graduate students are active researchers whose work is published in leading scientific publications.
