The John Wesley Powell Center for Earth System Science Analysis and Synthesis fosters innovative thinking in Earth system science through collaborative synthesis activities. This mission is driven by the growing recognition that synthesis is critical to solving complex problems facing Society. To date, the Center has successfully hosted 36 working groups that have produced 70 pubs, many in top-ranked journals.
The manuscript, “Designing a Suite of Measurements to Understand the Critical Zone,” by Brantley et al., which details the methodology behind scaling up from measuring “everything everywhere” at Shale Hills to measuring “only what we need” over the greater Shavers Creek watershed, is now available for online public discussion at the journal Earth Surface Dynamics. The online discussion is open until November 25 2015, and is available at the following link, along with the manuscript and suppl

American Geophysical Union -- Session ID# 8983 Description: Gaining a predictive understanding of dynamic ecosystem and hydrological processes in watersheds involves complex surface and subsurface hydrology, biogeochemistry, and vegetation dynamics. Heterogeneous properties and responses are needed in sufficiently detailed spatial and temporal resolution. However, properties and responses must be averaged, translated, and/or upscaled to integrate over the entire watershed or watersheds. While there has been some progress towards developing multi-scale approaches to understand and predict watershed-scale behavior, the community still struggles to extrapolate knowledge beyond the point scale. However, advances in technology and interdisciplinary cooperation are changing this trend.
Dear CZEN Members,
It's that time of year when the abstract submission deadline for the AGU Fall Meeting is looming large on the horizon; at this time it is just a week away (5 August)!
