Dear Colleague, Please consider submitting an abstract to the special session B28 "Ecological, Hydrological, and Biogeochemical Applications of Remotely Sensed Land Surface Temperature at the Fall AGU meeting (December 5-9, 2011) in San Francisco. For abstract submissions (deadline: 4th August 2011), please visit: http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/.
We have confirmed invited presentations by Dr. Dar Roberts (UCSB), Dr. Thijs van Leeuwen (University of California, Irvine and VU University Amsterdam), Dr. Menglin Jin (San Jose State University), and Mr. David Mildrexler (University of Montana). A brief description of the session follows: Temperature is a primary control on ecological, hydrological, and biogeochemical processes. However, air temperature datasets can be inaccurate in regions with sparse measurements, such as tropical and mountainous areas. Also, air temperature is often not in equilibrium with the temperature of the object of interest. The objective of this session is to highlight recent research using remotely sensed skin temperature (or land surface temperature) as a metric linking organismal processes, ecosystem structure/function, and water and energy fluxes. We invite contributions from researchers working with a variety of data, including thermal infrared and other remote sensing products. Conveners: Christopher J. Still*, Michael P. Toomey (University of California, Santa Barbara); Rebecca L. Powell (University of Denver) Thank you, and please feel free to contact us if you have any questions: *Christopher Still ([email protected]) Michael Toomey ([email protected]) Rebecca Powell ([email protected])
