Anthromes, CO2, and terrestrial carbon
From the deep past to net-zero
Monday 27 March – Thursday 30 March 2023
Potomac, Maryland (near Washington D.C.), USA
A symposium organised by Oak Ridge National Laboratory with support from the New Phytologist Foundation. Funding for the symposium is provided by the US Department of Energy, Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research program. This symposium will take place from Monday 27 March to Thursday 30 March 2023, in Potomac, MD, near Washington D.C.
Registration and abstract submission will be opening soon. To be the first to know, sign up to the New Phytologist Foundation event mailing list.
The Anthromes, CO2, and terrestrial carbon meeting seeks to explore the inter-relationship of CO2-fertilization, people, and land ecosystems through the lens of terrestrial carbon source-sink dynamics during the deep past, through major cultural transitions, and in the net-zero motivated near-future. Speakers will span disciplines, bringing together a group of researchers to provide a global view of the multifaceted impacts of people on terrestrial carbon through time. Goals for the meeting are to build community, synthesize how developing understanding of anthromes influences our understanding of the natural land sink under altered CO2, discuss the future impacts of human cultures and CO2-fertilization on terrestrial ecosystem carbon, and to consider net-zero culture as a driver of land carbon change, including the equity outcomes of the race to net-zero.
Symposium themes:
Anthromes, CO2, and terrestrial carbon
Anthrome transitions and CO2-fertilization
A net-zero driven future
There will be ample time for scientific networking, poster presentations, and social events.
