Conference structure
The conference will consist of oral sessions with wide-perspective plenary lectures, innovative invited speeches given by prominent scientists, highlighted poster sessions, an early-career scientist programme. A distinguished Panel on "Borderless Science" during opening day, and several satellite events are organised in connection with the conference, during lunch and in the evenings. Don't miss the variety of lively social events: Icebreaker, Conference Banquet, Jam Session, with live music! 

Conference Themes
1.  Land ecosystem-atmosphere observation
2.  Land ecosystem-atmosphere modelling
3.  Human drivers and impacts of ecosystem-atmosphere interactions
4.  Innovative methods, ideas and challenges in ecosystem-atmosphere interactions. All themes involve both modellers and observational researchers working at multiple spatial and temporal scales, with multiple observations and the integration of observations into model development and evaluation.

Please note that the abstracts submitted to the four Themes have been divided into several Thematic Sessions! The oral and poster session programs are available under overall timetable.

The next generation of Earth System models will attempt to fully simulate the coupling among the physical, chemical and biological processes in terrestrial ecosystems, and to include biological and chemical processes involved in ecosystem-atmosphere interactions. These ambitious efforts require improved knowledge of processes and innovative observational approaches for obtaining the data needed to parameterise and evaluate the models.

We warmly invite papers covering the Conference Themes. The sessions are designed based on the main Themes and the submitted abstracts.

In particular we welcome papers on integrated Earth System and Earth observations, boundary layer dynamics (heat, mass, biosphere-atmosphere interactions, atmospheric chemistry and aerosols), land use/land cover changes and climate, integrative model evaluation (including isotopes), model evaluation and intercomparisons. Including humans in climate models, human drivers changing land ecosystem - atmosphere processes, extreme events vs gradual change, exchange between managed ecosystems and the atmosphere, regional land-climate research, teleconnections, biogeochemical feedbacks in the climate system, aerosol-climate interactions.
