DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Weekly Biology Seminar Series\, open to biology
  students and enthusiasts from all disciplines. Each week\, expert speaker
 s share their latest research and insights into various fields of biology.
  This series offers a unique opportunity to learn\, network\, and engage w
 ith fellow students and professionals.\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Jessica O'Connell\,
  Colorado State University\n\nHost: Erik Nati-Johnson\n\nTitle: Remote sen
 sing of water-mediated plant-soil interactions and wetland landscape resil
 iency\n\nAbstract: Plant productivity in coastal and inland wetlands contr
 ibutes to important ecosystem services\, such as habitat provisioning for 
 wildlife\, surface water denitrification\, and plant-mediated carbon seque
 stration for mitigation of climate warming. Understanding water-driven dyn
 amics in belowground plant production is especially important\, because be
 lowground production increases soil accretion and C stabilization. Water i
 s an important driver of productivity\, and hence resiliency\, because hig
 h water-tables reduce oxygen available to plant roots and impact growth. T
 hus\, spatiotemporal patterns in flooding and belowground biomass might se
 rve as a proxy for marsh resiliency\, ecosystem function\, and carbon sequ
 estration potential. Novel remote sensing models can help track pattern an
 d process in belowground dynamics in wetland landscapes\, through an under
 standing of plant growth and remote sensing derived biophysical proxies. T
 his talk presents progress made so far in open-science remote sensing anal
 ytics for understanding water and carbon dynamics across inland and coasta
 l wetland dominated landscapes.
