EPS-WO: Extreme Climate Event Impacts on Aquatic Biogeochemical Cycles and Fluxes

气候变化预测表明，热带风暴、飓风、热浪和干旱的规模和强度都在增加。这些事件可能对水生生态系统产生重大影响，并有可能使生态系统的进程、反应和功能发生重大变化。这种变化还可能损害这些生态系统提供的重要服务，从而影响我们环境和社会的福祉。为期五天的研讨会将重点关注监测和减轻极端气候事件影响的战略。来自不同背景的科学家（包括妇女和代表性不足的群体）和各阶段研讨会的主要议题是：水驱动的碳、氮和磷（C、N、P）以颗粒、溶解和气态形式从陆地生态系统向水生生态系统的输出;极端气候事件后水生态系统中C、N和P的地球化学循环的变化;极端事件导致水生态系统功能和服务的变化。将涵盖各种挑战，从界定极端气候事件并对其进行监测，确定通过河流网络的营养物质输出，长期影响和恢复，水生生态系统的结构、功能和服务的变化，土地使用的差异，以及减轻极端事件影响的管理做法和恢复战略。

Climate change projections indicate increasing magnitude and intensity of tropical storms, hurricanes, heat waves, and droughts. The events could have significant consequences for aquatic ecosystems with potential for large changes in ecosystem processes, response and functions. Such changes could also impair the important services that these ecosystems provide and thus affect the well-being of our environment and society. This five day workshop will focus on strategies for monitoring and mitigating the effects of extreme climate events. Scientists from diverse backgrounds (including women and under-represented groups) and at various stages (early career to senior) in their career will participate at the meeting.The main workshop topics will be: water-driven exports of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus (C, N, P) in particulate, dissolved, and gaseous forms from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems; changes in biogeochemical cycles of C, N, and P in aquatic ecosystems following extreme climate events; and changes in aquatic ecosystem functions and services as a result of extreme events. The full spectrum of challenges will be covered, from defining extreme climate events and monitoring them, determining the exports of nutrients through the fluvial network, long-term impacts and recovery, changes in structure, functions and services of aquatic ecosystems, differences across land uses, and management practices and restoration strategies to mitigate extreme event impacts.
