Evaluation

• More summary talks (e.g., Davis talk)
• More like Friday motivations panel / career
  talks
• Session on stress/time management from other
  scientists
• More students interactions report as a group
  for tutorial
• More poster sessions keep posters up whole time
• Tutorial choices overlap maybe offer fewer with
  more repitition
• Panel discussions general topics to talk over,
  more time for these

Emerging Issues

• Top-down/bottom-up method fusion at regional
  scales Method Hopping
• Integrating isotopes and other tracers in
  atmospheric inversions and ecosystem models
• Linking carbon-nitrogen-phosphorus-water cycles
• Ecosystem model regional parameterization using
  ecophysiological, flux, inventory, and tracer
  observations and advanced data assimilation
  techniques
• Observing/modeling biogeochemical flows in
  complex terrain at stand and regional scales
• Integrating remote sensing into everything
• Higher spatial resolution sensors to capture
  heterogeneity
• Better estimates of uncertainty
• Vegetation dynamics in ecosystem models stand
  age, disturbance, fire, invasive species, human
  disturbaces
• Integrating humans into everything
• Novel observation techniques for regional scale
  ecology, esp. belowground dynamics
• Operational carbon cycle/climate impact forecasts
  need to better calibrate ecosystem models for
  sensitivity to climate, humans
• Connecting science to policy feedbacks, roles,
  ethics
• Synoptic/frontal flows and its impacts on BGC
• North America / Temperate bias / tropical
  observation/modeling and other regions

Emerging Issues

• Integrating methodologies across temporal/spatial
  scales and assessing uncertainty integrated
  modeling that is space/time scale independent
• Making large datasets more available/easier to
  access and use
• Managed ecosystems and into models role of
  thinning/fertilization (nutrients)
• Predictive capacity of models
• More manipulative experiments at regional scales
• Trusting model processes model evaluation
• Understanding feedbacks to climate change vs
  equilibrium models
• Funding (in general) and specifically for
  modeling
• New paradigm for long term funding (e.g., NSF
  LTREB)
• Ecosystem model development beyond just
  parameterization
• Local scale heterogeneity at larger scales
• Communication skills for general
  audience/policy audience/scientific audience
