<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">The researcher will lead the design and implementation of a field experiment using rainfall manipulation shelters to simulate future climate. Response variables to be measured include
soil hydrology, ecosystem structure, productivity, and gas exchange of CO2 and water vapor at the leaf- and plot-levels. This experiment will serve as a test bed for development of sensors and methods to remotely sense ecosystem function under variable climate
conditions, especially drought, including NDVI, EVI, PRI, thermal, and sun-induced fluorescence (SiF). Beyond the primary focus, collaborative opportunities will be encouraged to integrate field and remote sensing data across a collaborative network of ecosystem
research sites in the Western US and Mexico. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
