The 6th annual flux course will take place the University of Colorado Mountain Research Station from the 15th through the 26th of July this summer. The fluxcourse (http://www.fluxcourse.org/) seeks to cross train attendees in measurement techniques and advanced modeling approaches for quantifying carbon and water fluxes between the atmosphere and the biosphere. The course will be offered to 24 graduate students, post-docs and early career scientists.
Topics will include: flux measurements at the leaf level; modeling leaf CO2 and H2O fluxes; eddy covariance measurements; use of stable isotopes to infer ecosystem-atmosphere fluxes; predictions of fluxes from satellite observations; canopy flux models; assimilation of flux observations and satellite remote sensing data into ecosystem process models; and Bayesian approaches to modeling. Attendees stay at the University of Colorado Mountain Research Station, near Boulder, Colorado, USA (dormitory style accommodation). Applications to attend please go to the website for application details: http://www.fluxcourse.org/contact.html DEADLINE: New application deadline is April 12, 2013. Selections will be announced by April 15, 2013. FEES: $2500 for course fees, room and board (includes all meals); but you must provide your own means of transportation to Boulder, Colorado. SCHOLARSHIPS: We are pleased to announce that this year the AMERIFLUX network will provide a limited number of scholarship which will cover the fees (not travel). Details and ELEGIBILTY information to follow. Students from institutions in the Americas are eligible.
