                         variability on the carbon balance of the Amazon basin, we are 
                         developing an integrated combination of new remote sensing 
                         products, data syntheses, and ecosystem models. The new remote 
                         sensing products are based on MODIS/MISR and supplemented with 
                         Landsat and IKONOS and provide much needed spatio-temporal 
                         information on basin wide land-cover and land-use characteristics. 
                         New data syntheses combine this information with additional remote 
                         sensing products, census statistics, and other information on 
                         land-use change to produce essential land-use history products 
                         needed for models. Data on climate variability across the basin 
                         are also being studied and formatted for model input. 
                         Collectively, this information is being fed into new 
                         state-of-the-art biosphere models based on the Ecosystem 
                         Demography (ED)model. These models are being developed to serve as 
                         quantitative synthesis tools capable of helping to disentangle the 
                         mechanisms behind observed variability in the regional carbon 
                         balance, and for helping to evaluate the likely consequences of 
                         alternative scenarios of future development and environmental 
                         change in the region. In this presentation, results from this 
                         synthesis activity will be presented focusing on key advances in 
                         modeling and remote sensing that facilitate the estimation of the 
                         large-scale consequences of fine-scale heterogeneity. Fine-scale 
                         heterogeneity is shown to have important consequences for 
                         large-scale ecosystem dynamics including carbon sequestration.",
