The Krauss, Steinmuller, and Roberts labs, collaborators from Tulane & Li-COR installed an eddy covariance sensor in a salt marsh. The instrument will measure real-time CO₂ exchange between marsh and atmosphere to track seasonal patterns in photosynthesis and carbon flux.

Congrats to Adam as he prepares to defend his Ph.D. this Friday. Adam has been a valued member of the Rieucau Lab at LUMCON for years—first as a staff member and later as a graduate student. We’re proud of all he’s accomplished and look forward to celebrating this milestone.
