Observing and simulating carbon cycle impacts of forest management and climate variability in heterogeneous landscapes June 26-30, 2012, Kemp Natural Resources Station, Woodruff, WI
Goals • Constraining and improving predictions of carbon cycling in spatially heterogeneous, managed landscapes • Developing the network and database of past and ongoing observations for improved assimilation into models
Uncertainty • What uncertainty do we want to express? • What are the desired standards for quantifying uncertainty? • What variables useful for science? For management? • Is there a level of uncertainty that is useful for management? • What spatial and temporal scales are most useful to science/management? • What uncertainty can/can’t we quantify? • How would this uncertainty be incorporated into map form? • For what purposes would maps be used (reference, wayfinding, data visualization, decision-making, etc.)? • What format is best (static vs. interactive)?
Products: be thinking • Proposal? • Synthesis paper? • Policy-management paper? • Collaboration (management, multidisciplinary) • Sharing: what are you working on now?
5 minute talks • Who are you and what do you do? • What are you excited about? Key idea! • What do you need help with?
