International Workshopon Semi-Arid Land Surface-Atmosphere InteractionAugust 9-13, 2007, Lanzhou, China
Background Arid and semi-arid areas comprise about 30% of earth surface Changes in climate and climate variability will likely have a significant impact on these regions. Semi-arid land surface- atmosphere interaction is not only one of the key issues in climate change research, it has also become a common Concern of governments and people. This workshop is intended to review recent progress in understanding semi-arid land surface- atmosphere interaction and provide a forum to promote international cooperative studies on semi-arid climate change.
Key Topics of the workshop are: • Land surface-atmosphere interactions • Dust aerosol effect on hydrological cycle • Climate change monitoring in semi-arid environment • International cooperation on semi-arid research International Scientific Committee: Chair: Prof. Congbin Fu (Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China)
Members: • Prof. T. Koike (University of Tokyo, Japan) • Prof. R.
