Dr. Huntzinger’s research interests focus on improving our understanding of complex environmental systems and our ability to forecast their future variability. Her current research interests are in using geostatistical tools to integrate data from environmental remote sensing products, models, and in situ data to advance our understanding of biospheric contributions, both spatially and temporally, to carbon exchange with the atmosphere.
