Event Summary

FLUXNET is a global network of research towers equipped with specialized sensors. Together, these towers measure the exchange of energy, water, and carbon between the land and atmosphere–collecting data that NSF NCAR scientists use to model our Earth system. But what if you could feel and embody these processes through art? 

Join us for an Explorer Series special event where NSF NCAR Faculty Fellow Maoya Bassiouni presents a fluxART experience along with artists Julia Oldham and Mallery Quetawki. They will share multimedia artworks and creative insights from a year-long residency with FLUXNET. 

This is a free public event recommended for ages 12+

This event is brought to you by the Education, Engagement & Early-Career Development (EdEC) team. Learn more on our website.
