AbstractThis project will generate a comprehensive database linking the biogeochemical properties of Antarctic land-based ecosystems in the McMurdo Dry Valleys to their spectroscopic properties that can be detected by drones, aircraft, and satellites. The multi-technique and multi-scale approach of this project will enable scaling from local observations to landscape-level patterns and will create a standardized monitoring framework compatible with global observation networks such as the National Ecolog
