Dear Colleagues,
We would like to make an announcement about an interesting session that we are organizing at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting 2010. Abstract submissions has just opened on July 21st. Session info: B30: Aeolian Processes: Biophysical Drivers and Biogeochemical Implications [Biogeosciences / Hydrology] Description: Aeolian processes affect landform evolution, biogeochemical cycles, human health, climate and desertification. The entrainment, transport and redeposition of aeolian sediments are recognized as important drivers in the dynamics of the earth system and there is a growing interest to quantify and model these processes. This session focuses on empirical, theoretical and modeling studies on the interactions between aeolian processes and ecosystem dynamics, with a particular focus on biophysical drivers and biogeochemical implications. Further, this session addresses diverse perspectives on aeolian research linking geomorphology, hydrology, ecology and soil science. Although the proposed session focuses on aeolian processes, but it is our intention to include studies as diverse as possible.
