Our Team

A number of researchers have played a role in developing the workflow and datasets used for in this project. Here’s a quick look at these contributors and their roles in this project and analyses of NCAR models and NEON data.

NEGIN SOBHANI

Negin developed the NCAR workflow to run single-point sites with NEON data and analyze/visualize model results (NCAR).

DAVID DURDEN

David worked to gap-fill NEON data and provide input and evaluation data that are used for NCAR simulations (NEON).

TEAGAN KING

Teagan created the infrastructure to bring in PRISM precipitation data and created tutorials (NCAR)

JIM EDWARDS

Jim built up the workflow for bringing NEON data products and using them in CLM simulations (NCAR).

DAWN LENZ

Dawn handles data issues and data sharing for the project (NEON).

DANICA LOMBARDOZZI

Danica built the tutorial materials and visualization tools. She also works with university partners on the project (NCAR).
