2016 Gordon Research Conference on Biogenic Hydrocarbons and the Atmosphere: Diversity of Sources, Sinks, and Impacts of Atmospheric Organics in Spain; June 26-July 1, 2016

该项目支持第八届国际戈登研究会议，题为“生物成因碳氢化合物与大气”。生物碳氢化合物是由植被自然释放的挥发性化合物，在各种尺度的生态系统和大气化学中发挥着重要作用。这一跨学科的会议计划将引起广泛的科学界的兴趣，包括(1)生物学家、(2)生态系统生态学家和(3)大气科学家。会议将通过提高对生物圈-大气痕量气体交换和人类活动在全球环境变化中的作用的了解来影响社会。在会议期间，与会者将探讨新出现的研究课题，包括根排放、植物与真菌之间的交流、碳氢化合物及其相关通量的航空调查、异戊二烯的表面活性化学，以及生物成因碳氢化合物对气溶胶形成过程的影响。会议将讨论的主要不确定因素包括生物成因和功能、生物成因碳氢化合物的生态后果以及生物成因碳氢化合物对大气化学和气候的影响。会议定于2016年6月26日至7月1日在西班牙吉罗纳-科斯塔布拉瓦的PGA加泰罗尼亚商业和会议中心举行。

This project supports the 8th international Gordon Research Conference titled "Biogenic Hydrocarbons and the Atmosphere." Biogenic hydrocarbons are volatile compounds that are released naturally by vegetation and play an important role in ecosystems and atmospheric chemistry across a variety of scales. The interdisciplinary conference program will be of interest to a broad suite of scientific communities, including (1) biologists, (2) ecosystem ecologists, and (3) atmospheric scientists. The conference will impact society by improving the understanding of biosphere-atmosphere trace gas exchange and the role of human activities in global environmental change.During the conference, participants will explore newly emerging research topics including root emissions, communication between plants and fungi, airborne investigations of hydrocarbon and related fluxes, surfactant chemistry of isoprene, and the influence of biogenic hydrocarbons on aerosol formation processes. The main uncertainties that the meeting will address include the biological formation and function of biogenic hydrocarbons, the ecological consequences of biogenic hydrocarbons, and the impact of biogenic hydrocarbons on atmospheric chemistry and climate. The conference is scheduled to take place at the PGA Catalunya Business and Convention Centre in Girona-Costa Brava Spain from June 26 - July 1, 2016.
