[ECOLOG-L] AGU Session on Impacts of Extreme Climate Events and Disturbances on Carbon Dynamics

2012-08-01 Thread Jingfeng Xiao
Hi All,

I would like to bring our AGU session to your attention. Shuguang (Leo) Liu and 
I are convening a 
session on the impacts of extreme climate events (e.g., drought, heat waves, 
spring freeze) and 
disturbance (e.g., fire, hurricane, insect outbreaks, and harvesting) on carbon 
dynamics again at 
the AGU Fall Meeting (San Francisco, CA, Dec 3-7, 2012). Our session at the 
2011 AGU meeting 
was very successful. If you have been recently conducting research on this 
topic, please consider to 
submit an abstract to our session. The abstract submission will close by August 
8, 2012.

Below is a brief description for our session:

B031: Impacts of Extreme Climate Events and Disturbances on Carbon Dynamics
Sponsor: Biogeosciences (B)
Conveners: Jingfeng Xiao, Shuguang (Leo) Liu

Extreme climate events (e.g., drought, heat and cold waves) and disturbances 
(e.g., fire, hurricane, 
and insect outbreaks) substantially affect carbon cycle processes. However, 
their impacts on 
terrestrial carbon dynamics over landscapes, regions, and continents are not 
well understood. We 
invite submissions that investigate and quantify the impacts of extreme climate 
events and 
disturbances on the terrestrial carbon dynamics over various spatial and 
temporal scales using 
observations (e.g., eddy covariance flux measurements, and national 
inventories), remote sensing, 
state-of-the-art modeling approaches (e.g., ecosystem models, upscaling 
methods), and model-
data fusion techniques.

Please feel free to contact me (j.x...@unh.edu) or Leo (s...@usgs.gov) if you 
have any questions 
and to forward this message to your colleagues, students, and post-docs who 
might be interested 
in contributing to this session.

I look forward to seeing you at AGU.

Description: Extreme climate events (e.g., drought, heat waves) and 
disturbances (e.g., harvesting, 
fire, hurricane, and insect outbreaks) substantially affect carbon cycle 
processes. However, their 
impacts on terrestrial carbon dynamics are not well understood and quantified. 
Accurate 
quantification of these impacts requires the use of ecological observations 
(e.g., eddy flux 
measurements), remotely-sensed data, modeling approaches (e.g., ecosystem 
modeling, upscaling 
methods), or the integration of these data and techniques. We invite 
submissions that explore the 
impacts of extreme climate events and disturbances on carbon dynamics over 
various spatial and 
temporal scales using observational, simulation, or integrated approaches.
