All - I invite you to consider submitting an abstract for an exciting session at AGU this autumn:
B072. When winter changes: hydrological, ecological and biogeochemical responses Description: Wherever winter occurs, it is likely changing already, or projected to change with warming and precipitation shifts. Additionally, other environmental changes, such as increased dust deposition or land cover change, also lead to changes in winter environments. This session will focus on how winter is changing and the impacts on natural and human systems. Ongoing research aims to characterize the effects of changing winters on hydrology, species, ecosystems, and people. Studies focusing on changes in diverse regions are sought, including those with less severe winters, as proportional changes in the duration of winter or the depth of snowpack may actually be greater in such regions.
