July 7-11, 2014, Lanzhou, China
Sponsors:
US-China Carbon Consortium (USCCC) & ChinaFLUX
Organizers:
Lab of Remote Sensing and Information Resources for Cold and Arid Regions, Cold and Arid Regions
Environmental and Engineering Research Institute (CAREERI), CAS; and Heihe Remote Sensing
Experimental Station, CAS
Background &Objectives:
The carbon cycle is one of important biogeochemical cycle in Earth system, which is tightly coupled
with climate change. As two largest CO2 emitters, China and USA face great challenges in reducing CO2
emission and enhancing carbon sequestration. This requires jointed efforts from not only leaders of
both countries but scientists across the Pacific. In order to provide scientific base for carbon emission
and sequestrations, both USCCC and ChinaFLux are committed to gain better understandings of
regional carbon cycle by promoting data sharing, cross-site syntheses, and cross-country collaborations.
This symposium aims at updating our progresses in this field and to promote academic interactions
among members of USCCC, ChinaFlux and other relevant stakeholders.
Themes:
 Regional and international syntheses of ecosystem flux data
 Flux monitoring and model fusion for carbon-climate coupling
 New technologies for ecosystem and regional carbon cycle studies
 Uncertainties in the modeling ecosystem carbon and water fluxes
 Challenges and opportunities in large-scale carbon and water flux research
Keynote Speakers:
Jiquan Chen, USCCC, University of Toledo, USA (International C flux synthesis and collaborations)
Jinming Chen, Nanjing University, China (Global carbon assimilation)
Peng Gong, Tsinghua University, China (High resolution land cover mapping)
More speakers will be invited

Venues:
Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, is a city which is settled in the arms of the mountains and rivers.
It is the only capital city with the Yellow River passing through. Lanzhou is the political, economic, and
cultural center of Gansu Province, the gateway to the vast northwestern China, and an important point
on the Silk Road that linked China's ancient capital Xi'an with Central Asia and the Roman Empire.
