Venue: Fritz Loewe Theatre, McCoy Building (Earth Sciences)
Presenters: Dave Schimel
One of the greatest uncertainties in climate predictions is how the natural uptake and release of carbon by the ocean and terrestrial biosphere will respond to climate change. There is a large range of modelled responses and few observations to test them. This talk will describe how new observations ranging from individual leaves to the globe are shedding new light on this problem.
Dave Schimel is the chief advisor on carbon cycle science at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. He has previously been director of the National Ecological Observing Network in the U.S. and the Max Planck Institut for Biogeochemistry in Germany.
This event will be followed by drinks and networking opportunities.
