Abstract: The simultaneous measurement of meteorological variables along with ecosystem physiology has improved our understanding of how native and managed ecosystems respond to external forcings like climate change. This talk will identify how this can be achieved using integration of field-based measurements, satellite remote sensing, and modelling. The talk will also detail how Australia's Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) is supporting ecosystem process research at the local, national and international scales. 

Biography: Caitlin is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Agriculture and Environment at The University of Western Australia, and she is a WA representative for Australia's Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN). Her research focuses on understanding native and managed ecosystem processes from the leaf to landscape scale.
