<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>ABSTRACT: </b>Recent estimates suggest that around 30% of the anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions being absorbed by the terrestrial biosphere. The land biosphere also dominates the year-to-year variability of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>
concentrations. Consequently, accurate estimates of the current and future magnitude of terrestrial carbon stocks and fluxes are critical for predicting the rate at which CO<sub>2</sub> will continue to accumulate in the Earth’s atmosphere, and the resulting
rate and magnitude of climate change over the coming century. Predictions regarding the future composition, structure, and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems in response to ongoing climate change rely heavily on the predictions of terrestrial biosphere
and ecosystem models. Compared to rates of oceanic carbon uptake and release, estimates of the current and future magnitudes of the terrestrial carbon sink are highly uncertain. In this talk, we will 1) explore how uncertainty in current ecosystem states propagates
through model forecasts and 2) demonstrates how to leverage multi-source observations to improve future predictions of ecosystem carbon and water cycles.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>BIO:</b> Dr. Liling Chang is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at FSU, previously holding the same position at the University of Birmingham in the UK. She earned her doctorate in Hydrometeorology from the
University of Arizona in 2021 followed by a two-year postdoctoral training at Harvard University. she is interested in examining responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climate variability, elevated atmospheric CO2, and disturbance events. Her research focuses
on integrating field observations, remote sensing data, and process–based models to quantify and predict ecosystem water, energy, carbon fluxes, productivity, and demography.<o:p></o:p></p>
