For those attending AGU this December (5-9th in San Francisco), please consider submitting your abstract to a session I am leading with Ben Cook, entitled 'Beyond Earlier Spring: Diverse Phenological Responses to Climate Across Species and Ecosystems.'
The full description is below---we're looking for novel research examining phenology (life-history timing) across organisms, time and space. We're especially interested in work integrating multiple environmental cues, using novel theoretical or statistical approaches or from under-studied habitats and regions. Abstract submission is open now through August 4th -- you can find more info at: http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/submit-policies/ When you submit your abstract request session B12 (more info below). Thanks. Lizzie B12: Beyond Earlier Spring: Diverse Phenological Responses to Climate Across Species and Ecosystems Sponsor: Biogeosciences (B) Co-Sponsor(s): Global Environmental Change (GC) Phenology research often focuses on warming and the advance of spring. Yet phenology may respond in diverse ways to competing environmental cues, including moisture, snow, irradiation, photoperiod, or temperatures during chilling periods. Such cues may vary between species, ecosystems or through time. Quantifying the importance of these other cues requires careful analysis of climate-phenology relationships using new approaches, insights and datasets. We invite submissions from all branches of phenology research (species level, common gardens, remote sensing) that explore the complex interactions between climate and phenology, including studies that use novel theoretical or statistical approaches. -- ------------------------------ Elizabeth M Wolkovich NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in Biology-Bioinformatics University of California - San Diego 9500 Gilman Drive #0116 La Jolla, CA 92103-0116 Phone: 858.246.0509 email: [email protected] http://www.biology.ucsd.edu/~ewolkovi
