AGU Chapman Conference on Examining Ecohydological Feedbacks of Landscape Change along Elevation Gradients in Semiarid Regions, 5-9 October 2009

查普曼会议审查生态水文反馈景观变化沿着海拔高度在半干旱地区，2009年10月5日至9日，太阳谷，爱达荷州，美国查普曼会议是由美国地球物理联合会（AGU）主办的专题会议。AGU Chapman关于审查半干旱地区沿海拔变化的景观变化的生态水文反馈的会议地区将于2009年10月5日至9日在爱达荷州的太阳谷举行。生态水文学是一门新兴的、迅速发展的科学。自2002年以来，除了期刊上的专题报道外，还出版了几本关于这一主题的书籍。本次查普曼会议将研究发生在半干旱地区的生态水文变化，跨越海拔和降水梯度。会议的目标是帮助来自不同学科背景的科学家和土地管理者更好地理解和解决发生在半干旱景观中的重大变化。本次会议是在2002年成功举办的查普曼会议“半干旱环境生态水文学”的基础上召开的。预计将有约100名与会者参加本次会议，其中20%是应邀参加，约80%是捐款参加，约25%是青年科学家和学生。

Chapman Conference on Examining Ecohydrological Feedbacks of Landscape Change along ElevationGradients in Semiarid Regions, October 5-9, 2009, Sun Valley, Idaho, USAChapman Conferences are topical meetings sponsored by the American Geophysical Union (AGU)and are designed to promote opportunities not normally available through larger meetings.The AGU Chapman Conference on Examining Ecohydrological Feedbacks of Landscape Change alongElevation Gradients in Semiarid Regions takes place 5-9 October 2009, in Sun Valley, Idaho.Ecohyrdology is an emerging and rapidly evolving science. Several books on this topic havebeen published since 2002, in addition to special features in journals. This Chapman Conferencewill examine the ecohydrological changes taking place in semiarid landscapes, across elevationand precipitation gradients. The conference goal is to help scientists from different disciplinarybackgrounds and land managers better understand and address the substantial changes occurringin semiarid landscapes. This conference builds on the success of a previous Chapman Conference,Ecohydrology of Semiarid Environments, held in 2002.It is anticipated that approximately 100 participants will attend this conference, with amix of 20% by invitation, ~80% contributed, and about 25% will be young scientists and students.
