Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting an abstract to *AGU Biogeosciences Session #12829*: *Advancing understanding of ecosystem structure and function through remote sensing*. This broadly interdisciplinary session will focus on the use of remote sensing technologies to advance understanding of ecological questions.
Session Description: Remote sensing technologies - applied at different spatial and temporal scales, and using a variety of sensors – are transforming the biogeosciences by producing previously unattainable ecosystem structural and functional information. For example, full-waveform lidar and hyperspectral data products provide new capabilities to link, in novel ways, ecosystem structure and foliar chemistry with biogeochemical processes at scales from leaves to biomes. Moving forward, a variety of emerging remote sensing technologies are poised to dramatically improve understanding of ecosystem structure-function, helping to resolve long-standing fundamental questions within the biogeosciences. We seek submissions from researchers using remote sensing to advance understanding of ecosystem structure and function. This interdisciplinary session will be broad in scope, with submissions highlighting an array of experimental, observational, and modeling studies using remote sensing to address questions in the biogeosciences. Please consider submitting a contributed abstract to this session using the AGU Fall Meeting website at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2016/abstract-submissions/. The deadline for abstract submissions is August 3, 2016.
