Gordon Research Conference on Biogenic Hydrocarbons and the Atmosphere

 

Biogenic hydrocarbon emissions from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are critical in ecology and plant physiology, from abiotic and biotic stress functions to integrated components of metabolism. Microorganisms also contribute by producing and taking up biogenic hydrocarbons in the environment. New research advances uncover the importance of biogenic hydrocarbons in the climate system, from new particle formation in the clean atmosphere to plant geo-engineering and land-based climate change mitigation.

The 2018 Biogenic Hydrocarbons and the Atmosphere Gordon Research Conference will focus on linkages between biogenic hydrocarbon emissions, the carbon cycle, atmospheric chemistry and the climate system, with the goal of fostering an improved understanding of biogenic hydrocarbons in the Earth system climate sensitivity.
