Session Proposal: New Mechanisms, Interactions, and Approaches for Predicting Global Biogeochemical Cycles (AGU25)

B066
New Mechanisms, Interactions, and Approaches for Predicting Global Biogeochemical Cycles

Session ID#: 249107

Session Description:
Predictions of global biogeochemical cycles are an essential objective of Earth system science, and they are influenced by ecosystem structure and function, hydrological and nutrient cycles, and other interactions with the Earth system. Relevant processes operate at different spatial and temporal scales and vary across terrestrial, coastal, and marine ecosystems. Biogeochemical interactions may be altered by disturbances, such as hydrological extremes, wildland fires, and land cover/land use change. This session focuses on integrated understanding of terrestrial and marine mechanisms that impact the predictability of all aspects of the Earth system, methods for evaluating and benchmarking process representations in Earth system models, approaches for constraining models (e.g., emergent constraints), and novel applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve predictive understanding of global biogeochemical cycles.
