Dr Peter Berg Berg
Research Professor, University of Virginia
Peter Berg pioneered the aquatic eddy covariance technique for benthic flux measurements in 2003. Since then he has worked exclusively on disseminating the approach by developing new and better sensors, teaching and training other research groups, Post Docs, and students, and improving the numerical tools used to extract fluxes from measured data. The technique is now widely accepted as the best approach for measuring benthic fluxes under naturally varying environmental conditions.
