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.
