Timothy J. Griffis Associate Professor

I use micrometeorological and boundary layer techniques to study the carbon and hydrologic cycles of natural and managed ecosystems. I am particularly interested in combining micrometeorological and stable isotope techniques to help develop better tools for studying biophysical processes. The majority of my research has focused on measuring and modeling the carbon balance of wetlands and forests located at the northern and southern edge of boreal treeline in Canada. I am currently using micrometeorological and tunable diode laser techniques to study how contrasting land management strategies and climate variability impact carbon cycling.
