Centennial Session: Biogeosciences toward the next Centennial: What we still need to learn and why.
Session ID#: 83475
Session Description:
Biogeosciences is the study of the interactions between the chemical, biological and geophysical processes that control the Earth system. This session seeks contributions across the full spectrum of Biogeosciences that pose the key outstanding and emerging questions to be addressed in the coming century, and how the answers to these questions will enable the scientific community to better address increasingly urgent ecological, social, economic and philosophical issues in a rapidly changing world. As a Centennial session, the focus is on where we need to be in the next century, as well as how we are going to get there. This session will culminate the Centennial year for Biogeosciences, establishing a conceptual roadmap for the coming decades of research.
