Colleagues, Please note the following session for the annual AGU meeting. We are especially interested in abstracts addressing policy-relevant applications of modeling and experiments.
B053. Reactive Nitrogen at the Intersection of Climate Change, Air Quality, Ecosystem Sustainability, and Policy The role of N in the environment is unique since reactive N can simultaneously affect climate change, air quality, water quality, and ecosystem sustainability. Uncertainty remains about source-receptor relationships, connectivity between ecosystems and the most effective ways to mitigate N impacts in the environment. There is also a need to develop policies regulating N across a wide spectrum of issues. Papers are solicited on advances in the science of understanding N in the environment as well as on the human dimension of the N grand challenge. Papers focusing on modeling, measurements, policy relevant applications or a combination of these approaches will be considered. Brian Lamb, R. Dave Evans P. Groffman T. Theis _________________ R.
