EGU2013 Session BG5.1 - "Biospheric feedbacks on the Earth system"

Convenor: Andrew Friend (gc2@geog.cam.ac.uk)
Co‐Convenors: Meike Vogt, Altug Ekici, Sönke Zaehle, Han Dolman, Aideen Foley, Mehera Kidston, Gerardo López Saldaña, Ioannis Bistinas, Catherine Morfopoulos

Further Information: Announcement Flyer

This session will examine the biogeochemical processes that are likely to affect the evolution of the Earth system over the coming decades, with a focus on the dynamics of marine and terrestrial ecosystems and the development of improved understanding through (a) fieldwork and laboratory experiments, (b) development of new observational datasets, both modern and palaeo, and (c) simulations using numerical models. Novel approaches combining observational datasets with models to improve constraints are particularly welcome. This session arises from the Marie Curie Initial Training Network GREENCYCLESII but contributions from non-network members are particularly welcome. Abstract submissions for the above session are now being accepted.

Abstract submission - Deadline: 9th January 2013. Further information at: http://www.egu2013.eu/abstract_management/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html
Financial support for young scientists - Application Deadline: 30th November 2012. Further information at: http://www.egu2013.eu/support_and_distinction/financial_support.html
