Topic:
This session is dedicated to climate change and related geoscientific processes. The utmost urgency of the topic poses great scientific, technical and political challenges and the connectivity of processes necessitate a good communication between specialists of different subjects. This may include soil scientists, hydrologists, hydrogeologists, geochemists, geomorphologists, (palaeo)-limnologists, ecologists, oceanographers, etc. Specific focus is laid on the role of biogeochemical cycles relevant for the balance of greenhouse gases in terrestrial as well as in lacustrine and marine realms. Welcome are for example studies dealing with the problem of quantifying and modelling carbon fluxes on different scales and in different environments and regions.
