Dear Colleagues,
We invite abstract submissions to a session on riparian processes and
ecosystems in areas of Mediterranean climate, to be held at the Fall
meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco (Dec 12-17).
Session description and contact information for the conveners are below.
Please note that (as many of you know) the deadline for abstract
submission is September 2nd. Abstract submission info is at
http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/program/abstract_submissions.php
Best,
John Stella (et al.)
H87: Non-equilibrium Drivers in Mediterranean Climate River and
Riparian Ecosystems
Sponsor: Hydrology
CoSponsor: Biogeosciences
Earth and Planetary Surface Processes
Global Environmental Change
Description: Riverine/riparian ecosystems in Mediterranean climate
regions face pressure from non-equilibrium physical drivers such as
climate change, flow regulation and land use. Research to date on
hydrological, geomorphological and ecological change in these semi-arid
environments has revealed key gaps in our knowledge, particularly on the
interdependence of physical processes with ecological communities. We
solicit papers that examine actual or potential climatological and human
causes of change in Mediterranean-climate river ecosystems, including
hydrology, sediment regimes, and ecosystem response. Papers that examine
vegetation/hydrogeomorphic influences and their feedbacks are
particularly welcome.
