Research summary
AI-generated

Kesondra Key studies how climate and ecosystems interact, with a focus on measuring the exchange of gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapor) between land and atmosphere at agricultural sites, and on developing indicators of drought. Recent work involves paired cropland monitoring stations (comparing fields with and without cover crops) using the AmeriFlux measurement network, alongside research on climate extremes and regional climate model simulations.
