In other news, our weather station has been dutifully collecting weather data since January 7, 2020. We look forward to continued developments with this project! Yuxin Wu conduct the Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) survey in the grassland site at Point Reyes Field Station. Baptiste Dafflon performing the electromagnetic induction survey of the grassland site at Point Reyes Field Station. β electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to measure subsurface soil structure β electromagnetic induction (EMI) surveys to measure apparent subsurface electrical resistivity β piezometers to measure water table depth Before the plots go in the team is measuring site characteristics and soil properties by performing the following measurements. Their project began in mixed conifer forest at Blodgett Experimental Forest. Researchers from the Terrestrial Ecosystem Sciences group in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley Lab are conducting a soil warming experiment to measure changes in soil carbon and respiration in grassland habitat dominated by perennial grasses. Part of the activity at the field station has included establishing a new long-term field experiment at the field station. Through careful consideration with UC Berkeley, state, and local health officers, campus Environmental Health & Safety officers, and campus administration including the Vice Chancellor of Research, we have been able to carefully(!) host researchers and even some groups and classes at the field station while maintaining utmost safety protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Things have been humming along at the field station this past year, although like everywhere else, itβs all a bit different.
