Hi Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attentions to our AGU session in this December at San Francisco. It is one of the SWIRLs sessions highlighted by AGU, and the description is listed below. The deadline for abstract submission is approach on August 6, 2013. Please consider to submit your abstract to our session if it falls in your research domain. Also feel free to distribute it to anyone who might be interested in this topic. B019. Data-model integration for improving biogeochemistry-climate feedbacks in Earth system models with explicit microbial mechanisms Section/Focus Group: Biogeosciences (B) SWIRLs: Global Soils Invited Speakers: 1. Joshua Schimel, University of California at Santa Barbara 2. Hanqin Tian, Auburn University 3. Melanie Mayes, Oak Ridge National Lab 4. Jinyun Tang, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Description: Implicit microbial mechanisms on trace gas fluxes and nutrient dynamics in Earth system models are one of the largest sources of uncertainties in simulating biogeochemistry-climate feedbacks. This uncertainty could be reduced by adopting a data-model integration approach which helps facilitate explicit representation of microbial processes on trace gas fluxes and nutrient dynamics for simulating biogeochemistry-climate feedbacks. Our session invites papers that address this topic by using a range of methods such as field experiment, modeling analysis, and data synthesis, spanning from plot, regional to global scales. http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search/sessions/b019-data-model-integration-for-improving-biogeochemistry-climate-feedbacks-in-earth-system-models-with-explicit-microbial-mechanisms-2/ We look forward to seeing you at AGU.
