Flux Tower information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Flux Tower Technician, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Flux Tower Technician, you generally need a background in environmental science, meteorology, or engineering, with experience in field data collection and instrumentation. Familiarity with data loggers, eddy covariance systems, remote sensing tools, and relevant software (such as LI-COR or Campbell Scientific systems) is essential, and safety certifications for working at heights are often required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively with research teams are valuable soft skills. These competencies are crucial to ensure accurate data collection, equipment reliability, and the integrity of long-term ecological research.

What are some typical challenges faced by technicians working with Flux Towers, and how can they prepare for them?

Technicians working with Flux Towers often face challenges such as maintaining sensitive instrumentation in remote outdoor environments, troubleshooting data transmission issues, and ensuring the accuracy of environmental measurements. Preparation involves developing strong problem-solving skills, becoming familiar with calibration protocols, and being comfortable working in various weather conditions. Collaboration with researchers and data analysts is common, so effective communication skills are also important for resolving issues quickly and ensuring high-quality data collection.

What are Flux Towers?

Flux towers are specialized scientific installations equipped with sensors that measure the exchange (or 'flux') of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. They help researchers understand ecosystem processes, carbon cycling, and the effects of climate change by providing continuous, high-frequency data. Flux towers are typically found in forests, grasslands, and agricultural areas, and are crucial for studying how different environments respond to environmental changes. Their data supports climate modeling, land management, and ecological research.

What is the difference between Flux Tower vs Meteorologist?

AspectFlux TowerMeteorologist
Required CredentialsTypically requires a degree in environmental science, ecology, or related fields; certifications in data collection or instrumentation are commonRequires a degree in meteorology, atmospheric science, or related fields; often includes certifications like Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM)
Work EnvironmentField-based, outdoor locations measuring atmospheric fluxes; often in remote or research sitesIndoor and outdoor settings; weather stations, research centers, or media outlets
Employer & Industry UsageResearch institutions, environmental agencies, climate studiesBroadcast media, government weather services, research organizations

While both Flux Tower specialists and Meteorologists study atmospheric phenomena, flux towers focus on collecting data about energy, water, and carbon fluxes in specific environments. Meteorologists analyze weather patterns and forecasts. The roles overlap in environmental data collection but differ in scope and application.

Job description

We are seeking a Research Assistant Professor to join a collaborative team from UNM, conducting research on ecosystem-atmosphere exchange of carbon, water and energy in semi-arid ecosystems.   Our group operates a network of nine eddy covariance flux towers sites distributed across a 1500 m elevation gradient in New Mexico (New Mexico Elevation Gradient or NMEG) that has measured ecosystem-atmosphere fluxes and associated physiological processes continuously for 18 years.   We are installing a new tower in a riparian cottonwood forest and are seeking a candidate to process fluxes from this tower and develop research questions that use this tower, previous datasets from riparian towers in the region and the NMEG that examine how fluxes and processes in these rapidly changing biomes are responding to disturbance and climate change.  The successful candidate will work with PI Marcy Litvak (UNM), and collaborate with a number of PIs across the Sevilleta LTER. The ideal candidate will be highly motivated, and demonstrate a record of experience and research productivity in one or more of the following areas:  (i) EC flux tower or other land-surface flux datasets; (ii) physiological, ecosystem, ecohydrology, biometeorology or landscape ecology with an emphasis on analyzing large datasets; (iii) ecosystem modeling, particularly in water-limited environments.  The position is available for one year initially, with possibility of 4 additional years of funding.
