2023 Conference Theme:  

“From Leaf to Globe, Seconds to Centuries: 

Scaling Up For Climate Change”

See you at the 2nd Annual ER-DGVM-C 2024!

Thank you to all participants who helped inaugurate the ER-DGVM-C with their excellent presentations on the range of DGVMs, phenology, field and remote sensing measurements, human dimensions, and more!  Thanks especially for the good conversations.

The Eastern Regional Dynamic Global Vegetation Modeling Conference (ER-DGVM-C) was held this March 24-26, 2023, at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA. The ER-DGVM-C brought together vegetation/land modelers primarily in the U.S. Eastern region for an annual regional conference to share science and foster collaborations. 2023 marked the inaugural meeting. This collegial, weekend conference was geared toward scientists, postdocs, and students who work with dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs), particularly models that couple with surface hydrology and the atmosphere models. Scientists who conduct research on field sites, with satellite data, or other process-based models that inform model physics and parameters and provide boundary conditions were also encouraged to participate. Participants from outside the U.S. Eastern region were welcome.

Thanks for attending!

The ER-DGVM-C brought together vegetation/land modelers primarily in the U.S. Eastern region, with keynotes from other parts of the U.S. and Canada.
