John Albertson is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University, specializing in hydrology, environmental fluid dynamics, and climate. His research explores the interactions between vegetation, land surfaces, and atmospheric processes, with a focus on turbulence, fluxes, and land-atmosphere coupling. He investigates how canopy structure, soil moisture, and climate influence water and carbon exchange in ecosystems. His work includes studies on turbulent kinetic energy, scalar fluxes, and the role of vegetation in modifying airflow and momentum transfer. Albertson's research has implications for understanding climate controls on terrestrial carbon exchange and improving land surface models.
