INTRODUCTION

The advancement of contemporary technologies has expanded our understanding of the global water nexus, bringing significant attention to the research topic of terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET), a critical link in the water-energy-carbon nexus. Two series of conferences on ET have been successfully initiated and hosted over the past decade. This joint conference will offer a chance to share the latest achievements in theory, methodology, technology, and application of ET, while advancing global cooperation in studying the water-energy-carbon nexus.

OBJECTIVES

• To explore frontier research on the water-energy-carbon nexus.
• To promote knowledge sharing for the betterment of humanity.
• To foster international collaboration for a sustainable future.

CALL FOR SESSIONS AND ABSTRACTS

• New theories, methods, and technologies ranging from microelectronics, precision irrigation, isotopes, eddy covariance, data assimilation, land surface process models to multi-source big data and artificial intelligence.
• Multi-scale evapotranspiration processes and mechanisms ranging from molecular and nanoscale, stomatal and leaf levels, vegetation canopy, slope communities, ecosystems, watershed landscapes, biomes to regional and global scales.
• Coupling mechanisms underlying the water-energy-carbon nexus across forests, wetlands, grasslands, and agricultural lands, along with the causal attribution due to climate change and human activities, and the nature-based solutions.
• Comprehensive connections of the water-energy-carbon nexus across forests, wetlands, grasslands, croplands, and other land surface types, addressing climate change and human activities, with nature-based solutions/strategies.
• Other relevant topics advancing knowledge and solutions in the water-energy-carbon nexus research.
