Advances in the Remote Sensing of the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle II Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 47314

Session Description:
Despite technical progress in the monitoring and modelling of the terrestrial carbon cycle, the spatially-explicit quantification of terrestrial carbon budgets remain uncertain. In part, this is because temporal and spatial variations in plant phenology, physiology and canopy structure are not well represented in most terrestrial ecosystem models. Recent advances in remote sensing techniques (e.g. solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence, plant trait mapping), sensor capabilities (including the forthcoming BIOMASS and FLEX missions) and an increasing archive of legacy observations (e.g. AVHRR, Landsat) offer an unprecedented opportunity to forward understanding of terrestrial carbon cycle processes, from second to decadal scales. Such advances can provide a valuable insight towards assessing the spatial patterns, temporal variability and environmental controls on the terrestrial carbon cycle and source-sink activities. 

We particularly welcome submissions that combine experimental data and novel remote sensing techniques with modelling approaches, at all observational scales ranging from the leaf to the globe.
