Rate My Professor Taylor Jones

Dr. Jones serves on the science team for NASA’s OCO-2 and OCO-3 satellite missions, which measure global CO2 concentrations and SIF. His research specializes in innovative approaches to measure and model atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, with a focus on urban environments, integrating data from custom low-cost sensor networks, satellite remote sensing, and other sources. He examines urban vegetation’s influence on local temperatures, carbon cycles, and water cycles to aid policymakers and stakeholders in understanding emissions. Collaborations include the Environmental Defense Fund and the Department of Energy. Notable publications encompass “Ribbonized sap flow: an emerging technology for the measurement of whole-tree water use” (Ecosphere, 2020), “Detecting short-term stress and recovery events in a vineyard using high temporal resolution solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence measurements” (Photosynthetica, 2022), and “Stress-induced changes in photosynthesis and proximal fluorescence emission of turfgrass” (Environmental Research Letters, 2023).
