Session Proposal: Surface-Atmosphere Interactions: Flux Measurements for Real-World Impact (AGU25)

B084
Surface-Atmosphere Interactions: Flux Measurements for Real-World Impact

Session ID#: 249964

Session Description:
Direct flux measurements of heat, water, gases (including GHGs), and pollutants between the Earth’s surface and its atmosphere unlock efficient and optimized environmental solutions across natural and built environments. Innovations and markets based on this approach help resolve global environmental and air quality challenges and can substantially benefit both small and large stakeholders. This session, organized by research and industry, invites innovative ideas and practical examples of direct flux measurements for tangible societal benefits, including optimizing ecosystem services by effectively managing natural resources and environmental impacts. The applications extend to the practical use of direct flux measurements in improving agricultural and forestry practices, promoting natural-based solutions, accounting for carbon credits, managing urban heat, monitoring industrial emissions, mitigating the impacts of severe weather, and enhancing air quality management.Join us to discuss a global paradigm for maximum integrity, low latency, and economically sound earth stewardship, anchored in direct flux measurements.
