The workshop nurtures future soil research talents through stimulating international collaboration beyond projects.
Event aim:
- Networking and experience exchange in a dynamic atmosphere
- Cross-fertilization of research projects
- Identify the most urgent gaps
- and research questions at the intersection of climate-land-biology

Session Description:
Land-atmosphere and land-ocean interactions play a key role in climate variability and climate/weather predictability across space and time.

mechanisms by which the land surface (e.g., soil moisture and temperature, albedo, snow, and vegetation) influences surface water, carbon, and energy balances, atmospheric and ocean processes, and climate; (3) predictability associated with land-surface/atmosphere/ocean interactions and land initialization (such as soil moisture, soil temperature, snow, aerosol in snow, etc.) at sub-seasonal to seasonal, to decadal time scales; and (4) application and analyses of large scale field data and
observational networks (such as FLUXNET), satellite remote sensing, and reanalyses data for land model development and land/atmosphere/ocean interaction studies.
