Dear Colleague,
We are writing to call your attention to a special session at the AGU
Fall Meeting titled, "Phenology as Both Forcing and Response:
Integrating Measurements and Models Across Terrestrial and Aquatic
Ecosystems". This session will address all aspects of phenology,
including modeling, analysis, remote sensing, new technologies, and new
applications. Please consider submitting a contributed abstract to this
session, which is described in detail below. The deadline for abstract
submissions is August 6, 2013.
*B054. Phenology as Both Forcing and Response: Integrating
Measurements and Models Across Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems*
/Co-conveners: William W. Hargrove (USDA Forest Service), Geoffrey
Henebry (SDSU), Forrest M. Hoffman (ORNL), and Steven Norman (USDA
Forest Service)/
*** Confirmed Invited Presenters ***
* Toby Ault (Cornell University)
* Greg McCabe (U.S. Geological Survey)
* Kirsten de Beurs (University of Oklahoma)
* Court Strong (University of Utah)
Responsive to climatic and edaphic factors, phenology is as a broad
and sensitive indicator of ecosystem health and function. Acting as
a driver, it forces ecosystem functions and services like
productivity, health, and biomass. Today's Earth system models
include prognostic phenology, and novel ground-based measurement
technologies (e.g., webcams, fluorescence, citizen scientist
observations, crowdsourcing) offer integrative links between models,
measurements, and satellite Land Surface Phenology across a range of
ecosystems. This session focuses on measurements and models,
observing and monitoring technologies, and analytic methods of
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Please feel free to forward this message to others who might be
interested in participating in this session. We hope to see you in San
Francisco in December!
Bill, Geoff, Forrest, and Steve
