Colleagues - We cordially invite you to submit an abstract to an ecological scaling session - AGU 2013. Abstracts are due August 6. Abstracts covering temporal and/or spatial scaling (i.e. point to larger area), modeling, ground to remote sensing pixel are encouraged! See you at AGU!
B062. Scaling Ecosystem Observations Through Space and Time ABSTRACT: There is a need to monitor change in regional to global ecosystem integrity. Projects such as NEON (United States), and TERN (Australia) are established to provide consistent, long-term in situ and remote measurements of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However, measurements may be spatially distributed across large areas presenting a challenge of interpolation between points and scaling between pixels for regional to global change analysis. This session will explore scaling methods to quantify spatio-temporal change over broad areas. Topics may include methods that: model ecosystem function using multi-scale data; scale between multi-resolution remote sensing pixels and scale in situ point measurements over broad areas. Confirmed Invited speakers: Warren Cohen (OSU), Carol Kendall (USGS), Alfredo Huete (CSIRO/TERN), Thomas Hilker (OSU) Conveners: Scott Ollinger (UNH/ NEON's observatory director), Stuart Phinn (TERN) and Michael Fitzgerald (NEON Aquatics). https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search/sessions/b062-scaling-ecosystem-observations-through-space-and-time-2/ Best, Michael -------------------------------------------------- Michael Fitzgerald, Ph.D., E.I.T.
