The First iLEAPS Science Conference (Integrated Land
Ecosystem-Atmosphere Processes Study (http://www.atm.helsinki.fi/ILEAPS/)
takes place in Boulder, Colorado, USA, 21-26 January 2006. The
deadline for submitting abstracts is extended to ***Friday, 7 October
2005*** (24:00 hours US Mountain time zone).
For submission and registration:

The five sessions are:
1) Land-atmosphere exchange of reactive and long-lived compounds: Key
interactions and feedbacks in the Earth System
2) Feedbacks between land biota, aerosols, and atmospheric composition
in the climate system
3) Feedbacks and teleconnections in the land surface, vegetation, water,
and atmosphere system
4) Material and energy transfer in the soil, canopy, and boundary layer
system: Measurements and modeling
5) Modelling of land-atmosphere interactions.
iLEAPS is a core project of IGBP, the International Geosphere-Biosphere
Programme (http://www.igbp.kva.se/). The international iLEAPS Science
Conference is the first conference to gather scientists from a variety
of disciplines to review, present, and plan research on processes,
interactions, and feedbacks in the soil-vegetation-atmosphere interface.
This cross-disciplinary research is essential to increase our
understanding of climate and global change that affect the functioning
of the Earth System. The conference will highlight the integrative
approach, explicitly linking measurements and modelling.
Post-conference specialist workshop on "Flux Measurements in Difficult
Conditions", Boulder, Colorado, USA, 26-28 Jan 2006. The deadline for
submitting abstracts is ***Friday, 30 September 2005*** (24:00 hours US
Mountain time zone). For submission and registration:
