Dear Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to our AGU session: B003 Advances in the Remote Sensing of the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/meetingapp.cgi/Session/47314 We're particularly keen to welcome abstracts on exciting new RS techniques or approaches that advance our understanding of the terrestrial carbon cycle, across all scales. Please see session details below. Thanks! Holly Croft Alemu Gonsamo Tristan Quaife Shawn Serbin -------------------- Session Title: B003: Advances in the Remote Sensing of the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Session Description: Despite technical progress in the monitoring and modelling of the terrestrial carbon cycle, the spatially-explicit quantification of terrestrial carbon budgets remain uncertain. In part, this is because temporal and spatial variations in plant phenology, physiology and canopy structure are not well represented in most terrestrial ecosystem models. Recent advances in remote sensing techniques (e.g. solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence, plant trait mapping), sensor capabilities (including the forthcoming BIOMASS and FLEX missions) and an increasing archive of legacy observations (e.g. AVHRR, Landsat) offer an unprecedented opportunity to forward understanding of terrestrial carbon cycle processes, from second to decadal scales. Such advances can provide a valuable insight towards assessing the spatial patterns, temporal variability and environmental controls on the terrestrial carbon cycle and source-sink activities. We particularly welcome submissions that combine experimental data and novel remote sensing techniques with modelling approaches, at all observational scales ranging from the leaf to the globe.
