Research Highlights
RUBISCO SFA researchers share the latest Earth system science results at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in New Orleans
November 6, 2017
At this year’s American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, researchers from the Reducing Uncertainty in Biogeochemical Interactions through Synthesis and Computation (RUBISCO) Scientific Focus Area (SFA) will present their latest research results, co-lead a Town Hall meeting on the Coordinated Model Evaluation Capabilities (CMEC) activity, and convene or chair ten (10) oral or posters sessions focused on vegetation phenology, uncertainty assessment, and global biogeochemistry and feedbacks with the Earth system.
A growing group of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratory scientists, university professors, postdocs, and graduate students associated with the RUBISCO SFA and collaborating projects will converge on New Orleans December 11–15 with nearly 25,000 other researchers to participate in the 2017 AGU Fall Meeting. These scientists have contributed to at least 25 oral and poster presentations slated to be delivered during the week at the meeting, which this year will be held in the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
To help meeting attendees identify and locate sessions and presentations related to RUBISCO activities, a project program has been produced containing a description of the award to be received by our Chief Scientist, Jim Randerson, an abbreviated schedule of six (6) DOE-related Town Halls, ten (10) sessions to be co-convened or co-chaired by RUBISCO SFA participants, and 25 presentations with RUBISCO SFA project participation. Moreover, the full abstracts for the Town Halls and presentations are provided in the sections that follow, along with information about the relevant sessions organized. This program shows the strong connections that the multi-Laboratory and university collaborative project provides between Earth system modeling, terrestrial ecosystems research, and large-scale data analytics.
The program is available by clicking the icon below. It is suitable for duplex printing. To print only the abbreviated schedule without all of the descriptions and abstracts, simply print only the first eight (8) pages.
