Southwestern U.S. and NW Mexico Regional Carbon Cycling Synthesis

Kick-off toward building a community to develop syntheses for this region

Rationale: Regional understanding in water-limited ecosystems lacking, area is projected to undergo relatively larger changes in climate, cross-border Mexico-U.S. work needs to happen

We discussed potential eddyflux sites (> 40), remote sensing and modeling opportunities.

Agreed to develop coordinating proposals, workshops, review articles.
