<div dir="ltr">Hi Folks,<div><br></div><div>I am making you aware of this opportunity to represent LUQ science at the next AGU meeting. I think we could submit a joint presentation based on our well-received symposium on the 2015 drought at the annual meeting. But, first I'd like to hear from individual researchers on their plans for the meeting. Let us know what you think you might submit and then we can plan from there.</div><div><br></div><div>jess</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Jess K.

Thus a better understanding of tropical forest processes is required to develop improved Earth System Models (ESMs). Improving representation of these processes in ESMs requires a tight coupling of model development and process-based field and lab investigations. This session will focus on research in tropical forests from an Earth system perspective including both modeling and measurement results. Processes to be highlighted include the response of tropical forests to moisture deficits and drought, elevated temperatures, and changing disturbance/demographic rates, including the role of biodiversity and belowground biogeochemistry in modulating these processes. Of particular interest are contributions that explore El Niño impacts on tropical forest ecohydrology and carbon cycle responses.</font></div><div style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:8px 0px;width:678px;font-family:Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Tahoma,sans-serif"><div style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px"><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:top"><font color="#000000">Primary Convener: </font></span><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;width:610.188px;display:block"><font color="#000000"><b style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px">Jeffrey Q Chambers</b>, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, United States</font></span></div><div style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px"><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:top"><font color="#000000">Conveners: </font></span><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;width:610.188px;display:block"><font color="#000000"><b style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px">Thomas Powell</b><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:0;vertical-align:baseline">1</span>, <b style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px">Charlotte Grossiord</b><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:0;vertical-align:baseline">2</span> and <b style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px">Bradley O Christoffersen</b><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:0;vertical-align:baseline">2</span>, </font></span><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;width:610.188px;display:block"><font color="#000000">(1)Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, United States</font></span><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;width:610.188px;display:block"><font color="#000000">(2)Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, United States</font></span></div></div><div style="border:0px;margin:0.2em 0px 0.8em;padding:0px;clear:left;font-family:Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Tahoma,sans-serif"><h5 style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:1"><font size="2" color="#000000">Index Terms:</font></h5><div style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 15px;padding:0px"><font color="#000000"><br><a href="https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/start?words=0410" style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">0410 Biodiversity</a> [BIOGEOSCIENCES] <br><a href="https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/start?words=0426" style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">0426 Biosphere/atmosphere interactions</a> [BIOGEOSCIENCES] <br><a href="https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/start?words=0428" style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">0428 Carbon cycling</a> [BIOGEOSCIENCES] </font><br><a href="https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/start?words=0439" style="color:inherit;border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">0439 Ecosystems, structure and dynamics</a><font color="#333333"> [BIOGEOSCIENCES]</font></div></div></div></div></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
