S-1 2002 SYMPOSIA TOPICS
|
||
| 1. Physical Measurements
in the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere System: I. Advances in Measurements at and
Below the Ground Surface A Tribute to Dr. Clarke Topp (joint with Division
A-3) A critical need exists to develop better methodology and instrumentation for characterizing soil physical properties. Although much progress was made towards this goal during the 20th century, reliable measurement of many fundamental physical properties and state variables remains elusive. There is also a growing realization that methods and instrumentation must be developed to characterize physical properties and state variables across a range of spatial scales. Advances in measurement technology will unquestionably improve our ability to manage soil and water resources. More importantly, they are prerequisite for new discoveries and fundamental advances in our understanding of soil physical processes. This symposium is aimed at highlighting the state-of-the-art of soil physical property measurement at and below the soil surface. Contributions are sought in the areas of (1) recent advances in measurement technology; (2) combined use of multiple measurement techniques; and (3) future measurement needs in the advancement of soil science. This symposium, co-sponsored by Division A-3, will focus on measurements made at or below the ground surface. It consists of two oral sessions and one poster session. A complementary A-3/S-1 symposium will consider above-ground measurements. The symposium will honor the career and the scientific contributions of Dr. G. Clarke Topp. The symposium organizers are Dr. Ty P.A. Ferrι and Dr. Gerard J. Kluitenburg. Session 1. Monday, November 11th, 1:15 5:00 pm (Reception to Follow) Session 1 (Posters). Tuesday, November 12th, 1-6 pm, authors present 4-6 pm Session 2. Wednesday, November 13th, 2:00 4:30 pm (S-1 Business Meeting to Follow) |

Mass and Energy Exchange in the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere System: Advances
in Measurements at and Above the Ground Surface A Tribute to Dr. George
Thurtell (joint with Division A-3) Within the past few years major advances have been made in our ability to measure fluxes of mass and energy in the soil plant atmosphere system. In particular, new instruments and methods have become available for monitoring concentrations and turbulent fluxes of trace gases in the atmosphere. This symposium, which is co-sponsored by Divisions A3 and S1, will honor the career and scientific contributions of Dr. George Thurtell. It will focus on instrumentation and methods for measuring mass and energy fluxes at and above the soil surface. A companion S-1/A-3 symposium will consider below-ground measurements. A half-day session will be devoted to oral presentations. Areas of interests are (1) instrumentation and methods for measurement of trace gas concentrations in the atmosphere; (2) eddy covariance and other methods for measuring atmospheric transport, and (3) related instrumentation. The symposium organizers are Dr. Gaylon Campbell and Dr. Keith L. Bristow. Session 1, Monday, November 11th, 8:30 11:30 am Session 2. Wednesday, November 13th, 8:30 10:00am |
