Hjort Summer School 2017 Bridging Methods in Marine Science: From Lab to Models (http://filamo.b.uib.no/hjortschool2017/)
11. – 16. August 2017 Espegrend Biological Station, Bergen, Norway Application deadline: 1. June The ability to integrate and communicate between laboratory experiments and numerical modelling is an increasingly important skill to collaborate and work successfully within the interdisciplinary field of marine science. The 2017 Hjort Summer School will train the next generation of marine scientists in linking and communicating across laboratory- and numerical modelling approaches. Lecturers & Instructors: Dag L. Aksnes, University of Bergen, Norway Hans G. Dam, University of Connecticut, USA Aditee Mitra, Swanea University, UK Diane Stoecker, University of Maryland, USA Camilla Svensen, University of Tromsø, Norway Selina Våge, University of Bergen, Norway The Program To achieve a better understanding of the connectivity of lab and modelling work, the 2017 Hjort Summer School has a strong focus on hands-on work. Accompanied by lectures, students will conduct lab experiments and link them to modelling experiences using examples highly relevant to the changing marine environment of today such as mixotrophy, zooplankton fecal pellet production and carbon export. Students are also asked to prepare a poster-presentation of their own research. Upon completion, they receive a course diploma with a recommended 3 ECTS. Participants, Costs & How to apply The course is aimed at earlier career scientists and students within the field of marine sciences. All course costs (accommodation & food) are covered; however travels will have to be paid by the student. A limited number of travel grants are available (for details see application form). To apply, please fill in the application form, upload a short CV and a letter from your supervisor in the Online application form (https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=3186847). Course organizers: Chris Lindemann and Øyvind Fiksen, University of Bergen, Norway
