Resiliency and Vulnerability of Boreal Forest Habitat to the Interaction of Climate and Fire Disturbance across DoD Lands of Interior Alaska

ARCTIC BOREAL VULNERABILITY EXPERIMENT (ABOVE) SCIENCE TEAM LEAD&RESEARCH PROJECT ON MAPPING AND MODELING ATTRIBUTES OF AN ARCTIC&BOREAL BIOME SHIFT. ABOVE IS A NASA TERRESTRIAL ECOLOGY PROGRAM INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH EFFORT DESIGNED TO ADDRESS LARGE

Collaborative Research: Determining the Vulnerability and Resilience of Boreal Forests and Shrubs across Northwestern North America

WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE ROLE OF VEGETATION DYNAMICS ACROSS THE ABOVE STUDY DOMAIN, BUILDING UPON OUR EXTENSIVE PRIOR WORK DOCUMENTING CHANGES IN ARCTIC AND BOREAL VEGETATION PRODUCTIVITY OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES USING MODERATE AND COARSE RESOLUTI

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOPS ARE TO ENGAGE THE RELEVANT TERRESTRIAL ECOLOGY, CARBON CYCLE, LAND USE AND LAND COVER CHANGE, AND BIODIVERSITY SCIENCE COMMUNITIES IN REVIEWING AND UPDATING THE SCIENCE ISSUES AND QUESTIONS AMENABLE TO STUDY USING SATELLITE
