Assessing Ecosystem Productivity Through the Integration of Micrometeorology and Optical Remote Sensing
DownloadSpring 2020
The main goal of this thesis is to contribute to the growing body of scientific work by exploring mechanisms of ecosystem productivity through the integration of remote sensing and micrometeorological data. This was done throughout by (i) identifying the environmental mechanisms affecting...

This study explored ways of integrating optical and flux measurements in the context of the Light Use Efficiency (LUE) model in an alfalfa (Medicago sativa) field. Narrow-band spectrometers and low cost two-band radiometers provided alternate ways to measure NDVI and estimate the APAR term of the...

Alberta oil sands tailings ponds are under the concern of releasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). In this research, Eddy Covariance (EC) technique was used to measure GHGs emissions from an oil sands tailings pond. A tower with EC instruments mounted on...

The focus of the research presented here was to directly measure actual evaporation rates from a tailings surface using a micrometeorological technique known as the eddy covariance method. Depending on the results, it would be determined whether current drying models need to be calibrated with...
