New GEOS-Chem Land Cover Module
Not intended to …
• Replace “dynamic” ESM simulations with the land cover changes over time
• Be used in situations where atmospheric dynamics could be significantly
altered by land cover at the resolution of the model grid
• Necessarily perform more “accurate” simulations than the default model
But allows for …
• “Controlled experiments” where land cover can be easily altered, and
changes to tropospheric composition can be identified, accounting for nonlinear chemistry and global atmospheric transport
οƒΌ Changes in species composition?
οƒΌ Shift in species distribution?
οƒΌ Historical land use change?
