--------------------
The Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER) group announces the workshop, "Climate driving of marine ecosystem changes: Training for young marine scientists," to be held 21-24 April 2008, at the European Institute for Marine Studies (IUEM) in Brest, France.
This exploratory workshop intends to increase the interactions between physical climate science and marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems communities with focus on impacts of climate variability on the marine environment. The workshop is aimed at young marine scientists. The objectives are, to increase their knowledge on existing climate data, to evaluate their relevance for biogeochemical and ecosystem studies and to judge their expertise.
The goals of this workshop are:
- to increase the interactions between physical climate science and marine biogeochemistry/ecosystems communities with a focus on impacts of climate variability on the marine environment;
- to foster cooperation between physical climate scientists and marine scientists; and
- to take stock of IPCC 4AR results, ocean/atmosphere reanalysis data and observational data, where relevant for impacts on the marine environment.
Applications from scientists early in their careers are welcomed. Selection of candidates will be based on the level and suitability of their qualifications, the relevance to the workshop themes, and the quality of their motivation statement. Partial financial support will be available for selected participants. The level of support will depend on the funding received.
