Dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to and invite submissions for
session "Molecular Biogeochemical Impressionism: Painting the Big Carbon
Picture with Many Small Strokes" (#B29) to be held at this year's AGU
Fall meeting in San Francisco. The session description is attached below.
Please feel free to pass this on to any potentially interested parties.
We look forward to your contribution.
Warm regards,
Nick Drenzek ([log in to unmask])

Session description:
The application of molecular-level analytical techniques – such as
microbial genomics, high resolution mass spectrometry, and compound
specific isotope analysis – in the Earth Sciences has shed new light on
previously ill understood or completely unknown biogeochemical
processes. Nonetheless, many representations of the modern carbon cycle,
which serve as important reference points for past and future climate
models, have thus far failed to adequately parameterize this
information. This session aims to provide a forum to better integrate
molecular-level insights into a broader conceptual and numerical
framework. Submissions that quantitatively refine existing paradigms of
organic matter dynamics both on land and in the oceans as well as
regional and global syntheses of molecularly traced biogeochemical
processes are particularly encouraged.
