D1: Climate Drivers and Landscape Response
Moderators: Jen Pierce, Boise State University; Ben Crosby, Idaho State University; Joe Galewsky, University of New Mexico, Scotty Strachan, University of Nevada, Reno
This session examines the types and magnitudes of climatic drivers that can trigger landscape response to climate change, and the types and magnitudes of landscape responses that are anticipated under ongoing and future climate change. Session will include "pop-up" presentations by audience members. Presentations: | Grant Meyer, University of New Mexico: Holocene climate and landscape response in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem |
| Nick Lancaster, Desert Research Institute: Response of sand dune systems in the South-western USA to climate change
