About the speakers ***
Gabriela Posse has a Degree in Biological Sciences and a Ph.D. from the University of Buenos Aires, with an orientation in Ecology. She has been working at the Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA) since 2001 as a Researcher in the Remote Sensing area of the Climate and Water Institute. Her areas of interest are related to the impact of agricultural activities on the environment, meteorological conditions on vegetation dynamics, carbon balances in the soil, fragmentation of environments, and effects of global change. She coordinated several projects to monitor greenhouse gas emissions resulting from agricultural activities.
Title: CO2 fluxes in agroecosystems of Argentina
In Argentina, agricultural production is very relevant, since agriculture contributes around 60% of the total exports. In addition, INTA is a public institution whose objectives include conducting and centralizing research on agricultural technology and rural development. With the aim of characterizing the functioning of our main agroecosystems, we use the Eddy Covariance technique among other methods. In this way we want to determine if they function as a carbon source or sink. We also work on understanding how these dynamics are affected by the meteorological conditions and the anthropic management in these systems. We initially compared these dynamics in a natural dry forest, in a commercial afforestation and in agriculture paddocks. We are currently focused on comparing the dynamics on two very close sites: one in an agricultural site (where we started the measurements in 2012) vs. other on a pasture with cattle grazing (since 2018). Although the agricultural site seems to behave as a carbon source (taking into account the carbon exported on harvest), a model generated for the region using satellite data and grain yield information shows that, on average, the agricultural sites have a net balance of in favor of carbon accumulation in the soil.
Hinsby Cadillo–Quiroz is a microbial ecologist and enthusiast of understanding GHG fluxes in various ecosystems. He has a PhD in Microbiology with a minor in Ecology from Cornell University. He and his research team investigate whether microbe-mediated organismal and environmental interactions drive ecosystem processes, particularly carbon cycling. His team is also examining how the environment, in turn, affects the evolution of microorganisms. With significant focus on methane-producing Archaea, Hinsby has studied northern peatlands, deserts and desert crusts, marine aggregates, anoxic bioreactors, landfills, natural and artificial wetlands, lakes and ponds, and over the last few years Amazon peatlands. His current work in the Amazon includes collaborative efforts to understand forest dynamics at plot scale, hydrology and effects on geochemistry, microbial distribution and community dynamics, metagenomics, as well intensive monitoring of GHG fluxes from soils and vegetation.
Title: Methane fluxes in Amazon peatlands: addressing their many unknowns through collaborations
Peatlands in the Amazon were unknown to the scientific world a short time ago, they were rare anecdotal accounts that, however, overlapped with regions estimated with highest methane emission in the world. The discovery of large swaths of land (over 175,000 km2) holding diverse peatlands in the Amazon, have shown that peatlands develop under various geomorphic, vegetation, geochemistry and soil conditions. Little is known about the magnitude and dynamics of greenhouse gasses (GHG), particularly methane, and even less about their controls. In this presentation, I will focus on results from different projects assessing the connections of microbial processes, geochemistry, carbon stocks and methane fluxes in Amazon peatlands. These results are the fruit of collaborative efforts involving geochemistry, microbial, and forestry evaluations in connection with field explorations and multi-institutional support. Results show that methane emissions are highly variable across sites in a manner related to site geochemistry as a predictor of “order of magnitude” emissions and microbial make up. Hydrology is the stronger predictor of seasonal variation. The role of primary productivity, however, is more complex than expected for soil flux. The role of stems as conduct for methane emission is significantly high showing one of the highest changes in values of stem emission detected on wetlands from low rain to flood seasons in forested peatlands. Further collaborative monitoring is badly needed in the region.

Speaking Up: How Bystanders Can Change the Conversation about Social Bias
2023-04-20 11:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | virtual
Ever wondered “Why didn’t I say something?” after witnessing social bias—a stereotype, a prejudice or discrimination—that happened in your everyday life? Deciding whether and how to respond to bias is complicated. Understanding what motivates us to speak up, the challenges we face when doing so, and strategies for effective responding can help bystanders to bias better evaluate their options and select effective strategies. In this dynamic workshop, attendees will first learn about bystander reactions to social biases and how these reactions can help or hinder decisions to speak up. Building on this understanding, participants will learn key strategies for speaking up that invite reflection and dialogue.
Attendees will then be invited to apply these concepts to everyday incidents of bias though facilitated interaction and discussion.

9th International Symposium on Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases (NCGG9), Amsterdam
2023-06-21 - 2023-06-23
Ninth International Symposium on Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases
Identify game changers and verify impact
June 21-23, 2023, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Non-CO2 greenhouse gases include many substances, such as methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), fluorocarbons (CFCs, HFCs, SF6, etc), black carbon, aerosols, and tropospheric ozone (O3). These contribute significantly to climate forcing. Reducing non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions is often more cost-effective than reducing CO2 emissions.
The importance of this conference is increasing every new event as our window for action in the climate dossier is closing rapidly. Fortunately public awareness that we need to act now is growing. With that awareness “game changers“ are proposed that need scientific evaluation to distinguish realistic and valuable concepts from what is known in The Netherlands as “ride a bike in the sky” ideas.
The scope of NCGG9 will be to identify game changers and evaluate impact. The status of global affairs in terms of the non-CO2 GHG issues is evaluated with:
observation of the current state and trend in the atmosphere, on multiple spatial scales;
using that information in models to integrate and upscale the available measurement data;
running models for scenario analyses predictions;
feeding the results from measurements and models to inventories;
use inventories and models to inform and predict;
discuss potential adaptation and mitigation options and policies;
make scenarios with social economic parameters and integrated environmental assessment;
discuss the general picture and results with stakeholders, to identify potential game changers with decision makers, industry, the financial & insurance sector, NGOs and international organizations.
We will invite contributions with respect to four themes, covering causes, effects and solutions of the environmental problems associated with non-CO2 greenhouse gases. These contributions may report on science (from natural, social, technological or integrated sciences) and policy.

2023 AmeriFlux Annual Meeting
2023-10-04 - 2023-10-06
Once again, we will host the meeting in hybrid mode. This meeting is open to anyone who works with eddy covariance flux methods or datasets, including early career scientists!
A full in-person meeting will take place in the middle of Massachusetts, US, with visits to the historic Harvard Forest Research site. We are trying to arrange the plenary session again in an outdoor tent.
Presentations and breakout discussions will be open to virtual attendees as much as technically feasible. Certain agenda items (site visits, walks, in-person poster session) may not be accessible to virtual attendees (but if you have creative hybrid-meeting ideas, please reach out). Virtual attendance will be free this year. A virtual poster session will take place in the week after the in-person meeting, giving all a chance to attend.
As always, all feedback and suggestions are welcome. Please feel free to reach out to any of the organizing committee members (listed below) with your thoughts.
Abstract submission closes July 23 – Find more info on the meeting homepage.
