Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting an abstract to the upcoming 2006 Western Pacific Geophysics Meeting (WPGM)-- Biogeoscience session B04, 24-27 July 2006, in Beijing, China!
Sponsors: Biogeoscience, Atmospheric Sciences, Global Climate Change B04: Cross-scale Studies on Carbon Cycles: From Biometric Measurements, Eddy Covariance, to Remote Sensing (http://www.agu.org/meetings/wp06/?content=program). Online Abstract Submission Deadline: 16 March 2006, 2359UT. At 2359 UT, 16 March 2006, the local times will be: Honolulu: 1359h New Orleans: 1759h Boston: 1859h Buenos Aires: 2059h Sao Paulo: 2159h Vienna: Friday, 17 March 0059h Jerusalem: Friday, 17 March 0159h Shanghai: Friday, 17 March 0759h Seoul: Friday, 17 March 0859h Wellington: Friday, 17 March 1259h - 8 September 2005, 2359 UT. B04: Cross-Scale Studies on Carbon Cycles: From Biometric Measurements, Eddy Covariance, to Remote Sensing Understanding carbon cycles and estimating carbon budgets from leaf levels to global scales requires interdisciplinary studies across disciplinary boundaries associated with ecology, meteorology, atmospheric sciences, remote sensing and spatial modeling. Small-scale mechanism-based work needs to be upscaled for understanding global carbon cycles. Regional and global studies require validation, feedbacks and updates from the most-recent work on small scales. This session intends to bridge our knowledge gaps in carbon cycles from biometric measurements, eddy covariance, to remote sensing, and link researchers from the Western Pacific region to other areas. We invite contributions from biomass measurements, manipulation experiments, eddy covariance measurements, and large-scale modeling using remotely sensed data. We especially welcome studies involved in multiple scale and across-scale studies. Studies on a single scale in the Western Pacific region are also welcome.
