Dear Eco-Loggers- If you are planning to submit an abstract to _B07: Coupled Trace Metal and DOC Dynamics from the Reach to the Landscape Scale_, a special session at 2006 Spring AGU Joint Assembly, please remember abstracts are due _March 1st_. The 2006 Spring AGU joint assembly will be held May 23-26 in Baltimore, MD. The session description is copied below for your reference. Meeting information can be found here: http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja06 . If you have any other questions about the meeting, or need an AGU member to sponsor your abstract, please feel free to contact any of us using the information provided below.
We have a strong group of invited presenters including Alan Shiller, Sujay Kaushal, Diane McKnight, and Stuart Findlay. We look forward to a great session. Abstracts are due March 1, 2006. Submission details can be found here: http://submissions5.agu.org/submission/entrance.asp . We look forward to seeing you there. Thanks very much, Rich, Ken, Ian, and Dan B07: Coupled Trace Metal and DOC Dynamics from the Reach to the Landscape Scale Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations are increasing in surfaces waters, suggesting landscape scale shifts in DOC dynamics. However, examination of interactions between trace metals and DOC at the landscape and basin scale remains limited. In this session, we seek to begin addressing fundamental questions like the following: Do landscape scale shifts in DOC quality affect the sorption and bio-availability of complexed metals? Do diurnal changes in DOC driven by photochemistry drive a portion of the diurnal variation in stream water trace metal concentrations? Do trace metal contaminated floodplain environments affect the quantity and quality of DOC arising from these source contribution areas? We are especially interested in studies at the catchment-scale using emerging and novel techniques including stable isotope tools (i.e., both heavy and light elements), high temporal resolution sampling, and DOC characterization (e.g., fluorescence EEM spectrophotometry). In addition, we encourage submissions of research in all human dominated landscapes, and particularly urban areas.
