  • Ryu Lab celebrated the arrival of Li-6400 (photosynthesis/soil respiration measurement). This instrument will play a key role in carbon flux measurements at Seoul Forest Park.



  • Jeehwan made an amazing progress in digging-up to quantify carbon stock



October

  • Youngryel appeared in EOS for the recognition of 2011 Editors’ Citation for Excellence in Refereeing for Global Biogeochemical Cycles. See here [PDF]

  • Youngryel had a short discussion with Rama Nemani (NASA Ames) at San Francisco Airport to run BESS on NASA NEX.
