Technician downloads gas sensor data

Olivia Johnson, a technician at Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center in Jamestown, ND, downloads and views measurements from carbon dioxide, methane, and oxygen sensors. The instruments are deployed at different depths in the water column, where dissolved gases are measured by optical detectors. We use the data to better understand the drivers that govern variation of wetland biogeochemical processes, and to ultimately improve spatially-explicit, temporally-dynamic models of carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions.
