H51E:
Modeling the Critical Zone: Integrating Processes and Data across Disciplines and Scales II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 13129

Session Description:
The Critical Zone (CZ), the Earth’s living skin where climate, geology and human activities converge,  is under unprecedented stress from interacting effects of climate and land use change. The evolution and function of the CZ are governed by multiple processes (e.g. meteorological, hydrological, geochemical, geomorphological, and biological) over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. This session aims to showcase contributions that highlight recent model development and applications in the CZ.  We invite abstracts that: 1) demonstrate the synergy between field and experimental efforts; 2) elucidate underlying processes at and across multiple scales; 3) reveal new understanding about the CZ response to changing climate and land use; and 4) synthesize data from or test hypotheses across multiple study sites.  The session is intended to serve as a multi-disciplinary exploration of the breadth of CZ science. We encourage submissions from modeling endeavors within and across disciplines.
