Workshops
Workshops will address leading research on climate change mitigation, carbon sequestration, soil health, plant photosynthesis, and ecosystem flux.
Innovative water management through direct evapotranspiration measurement
See a demonstration of real-time measurement of latent heat flux (LE) and sensible heat flux (H). These measurements with the LI-710 Evapotranspiration Sensor accurately quantify the amount of water vapor transpired by plants and soil (ET) and provide insights into water use efficiency of crops to optimize crop management and irrigation strategies.
Access and share actual evapotranspiration data from anywhere
Instrument care: Maintenance and service for Water Node systems
Self care for your research. Learn the basics of how to maintain your LI-710 Evapotranspiration Sensor or IoE Module.
All together now: LI-COR Cloud and HOBOlink
LI-COR Cloud and HOBOlink provide remote access to your data from a LI-COR Water Node or your HOBO Data Loggers. See a demonstration of how you can view, share, and manage your data in real time from any location.
Aquatic Inorganic Carbon Measurement Theory and Instruments
Measurements of carbon in water provide valuable insights into carbon fluxes, cycles, and exchanges as well as ecosystem production, anthropogenic emissions, and the global carbon budget. There are four parameters that can characterize the inorganic carbon system in water, all of which can be measured using LI-COR’s aquatic carbon instruments. Learn the basic principles behind these measurements and get hands-on experience with the instruments.

Leaf-level gas exchange measurement theory and application
Measurements of leaf-level gas exchange (carbon assimilation, apparent transpiration, stomatal conductance) and chlorophyll a fluorescence are fundamental to many areas of plant research. Techniques for making these measurements are well established and have been packed into off the shelf instrument systems. Successful use of these systems for collection of high-quality data, however, requires both an understanding of the underlying biological processes and the techniques used to measure them. Learn the basic principles behind these measurements with a focus on underlying assumptions and best practices.
Know your plant: Response curve implementation
Measurements of photosynthetic response to CO2 give insight into the limitations and capacities of photochemistry. See a demonstration of techniques for measuring CO2 response using both steady-state and non-steady-state approaches.
