Research
Within the Atmospheric Physics Group, I lead the team investigating greenhouse gas exchanges with terrestrial ecosystems. I have been principal or responsable investigator for numerous research projects, financed by the Andalusian regional government, Spanish ministries, and the European Union.
Although funded projects have represented mostly applications of micrometeorology into the global balances of greenhouse gases, my primary interestes regard classical micrometeorology: the definition of turbulent transport in the framework of fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics (the surface energy balance).
Biography
A native of the USA, I obtained degrees in electrical engineering (1988; Tufts University) and Atmospheric Sciences (1993 masters, 1996 PhD; Oregon State University) before emigrating to pursue a research career in Europe. I worked in a biology laboratory in Belgium (1997-2000; University of Antwerp) and as an engineer in France (2000-2002; National Institute for Agronomic Research - INRA), each time in the framework of European projects, before entering the Applied Physics department of the University of Granada.
