  1. IMBER Summer School
    Climate and Marine Ecosystems
    4-9 August 2014
    Shanghai, China

The Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER)
program invites applications to a summer school session in Climate and
Marine Ecosystems, entitled "ClimEco4." The session will be held 4-9
August 2014 at the East China Normal University in Shanghai, China.

This fourth IMBER summer school, ClimEco4, will continue IMBER's focus
on fostering research at the interface of natural and human systems. It
will be structured around lectures and activities that focus on indices
of climate change, climate impacts, and ecosystem services; and how
these are linked to indices for socio-economic and policy information in
relation to climate-ecosystem interactions.

Students and early-career researchers from the natural and social
sciences, working on topics related to the ocean and climate change, and
interested in the challenge of crossing the barriers between disciplines
are welcome. ClimEco4 will be limited to about 60 participants.

Application deadline: 15 March 2014.
