Hi All,
I would like to bring our AGU session to your attention. Shuguang (Leo)
Liu and I are convening a session on the impacts of disturbance (e.g.,
fire, hurricane, insect outbreaks, and harvesting) and extreme climate
events (e.g., drought, heat waves, spring freeze) on carbon dynamics
again at the AGU Fall Meeting (San Francisco, CA, Dec 9-13, 2013). Our
session at the 2011 and 2012 AGU meetings was well attended and
successful. If you have been recently conducting research on this topic,
you are welcomed to submit an abstract to our session. The abstract
submission is now open, and will close by August 6, 2013.
Below is a brief description for our session:
B031: Impacts of Extreme Climate Events and Disturbances on Carbon Dynamics
Sponsor: Biogeosciences (B)
Conveners: Jingfeng Xiao, Shuguang (Leo) Liu
Disturbances (e.g., fire, hurricane, and insect outbreaks) and extreme
climate events (e.g., drought, heat and cold waves) substantially affect
carbon cycle processes. However, their impacts on terrestrial carbon
dynamics over landscapes, regions, and continents are not well
understood. We invite submissions that investigate and quantify the
impacts of extreme climate events and disturbances on the terrestrial
carbon dynamics over various spatial and temporal scales using
observations (e.g., eddy covariance flux measurements, and national
inventories), remote sensing, state-of-the-art modeling approaches
(e.g., ecosystem models, upscaling methods), and model-data fusion
techniques.
Please feel free to contact me (j.x...@unh.edu) or Leo (s...@usgs.gov)
if you have any questions and to forward this message to your
colleagues, students, and post-docs who might be interested in
contributing to this session.
I look forward to seeing you at AGU.
Jingfeng
