Ellerman bombs are short lived brightenings primarily observed in the far wings of H-alpha observations in regions of emerging flux. Recent high resolution studies have enabled more detailed study of these small scale features including the connection between the energy and temperature of EBs and flux cancellation rates as well as studies of the electric field via balmer lines. We present preliminary results from simultaneous observations by DKIST and GST on June 18, 2024 of AR 13712 — an emerging active region that contains many interesting features including a filament, parasitic polarity regions, and multiple Ellerman bombs. Currently our analysis focuses on the Ellerman bombs. Inversions of the Fe I 630nm and Na D doublet at 589nm lines obtained by VISP aboard DKIST are performed using DeSIRe to recover the magnetic field, temperature, and LoS velocity. GST H-alpha far wing observations are used to study the evolution and morphology of the Ellerman bombs. Comparison between H-alpha observations from VIS aboard GST and VBI aboard DKIST are presented.
