Hi All,
Sorry for cross-posting. Leo and I are organizing a session at AGU
titled /Disturbances and extreme climate events: impacts and
disturbances/. If you have recently conducted research on this topic,
please consider to submit an abstract to our session.
*Invited talks*:
Dr. /Luciana Gatti/, IPEN, Brazil (Impacts of drought on the carbon
cycle and feedbacks to the climate)
Dr. /Changhui Peng/, Univ. of Quebec at Montreal, Canada (The impacts of
climate-induced drought on biogeochemical cycles)
Dr.///James Randerson/, Univ. of California Irvine (Intensification of
climate-carbon feedbacks after 2100 and implications for disturbance
regimes)
Dr. /Abigail Swann/, Univ. of Washington (Ecoclimate teleconnections:
The large-scale impacts of changes in mid-latitude tree cover)
*B026*:
*Disturbances and extreme climate events: impacts and feedbacks*
Session ID#: 1476
Session Description:
Disturbances (e.g., fire, hurricane, insect outbreaks, ice storms) and
extreme climate events (e.g., drought, heat waves) substantially affect
ecosystem function and processes, including carbon cycling. These events
can also have significant feedbacks to the regional climate. We invite
submissions that investigate and quantify the impacts of disturbances
and extreme climate events on terrestrial ecosystems and their feedbacks
to the climate 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, land surface models, and region climate/earth
system models, upscaling), and model-data fusion techniques.
We look forward to seeing you at AGU.
Jingfeng and Leo
