ICOS RI ‐ Integrated Carbon Observation System Research Infrastructure‐ is a European research infrastructure to quantify and understand the greenhouse gas balance of the European continent and of adjacent regions. ICOS will provide long‐term observations (20+ years) and has at present more than 100 measurement stations in eleven European countries.
ICOS Sweden is the Swedish contribution to this European effort and is a cooperation of Lund University (host), University of Gothenburg, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Stockholm University, Uppsala University, and Swedish Polar Research Secretariat. The measurement sites are located at seven different sites, from north to south: Abisko‐Stordalen (subarctic mire), Degerö (boreal mire), Svartberget (boreal pine and spruce forest), Norunda (boreal pine and spruce forest), Östergarnsholm (marine station), Lanna (agricultural land), and Hyltemossa (boreal spruce forest).

Monday, August 8, 2016: 8:00 PM-10:00 PM
Grand Floridian Blrm G, Ft Lauderdale Convention Center
Description:
This two-hour special session celebrates 20 years of the AmeriFlux research network, with several invited talks highlighting major research findings and open discussion of big ideas for future directions, followed by refreshments. Dave Hollinger and I will start the session with the history and research accomplishments of the network over the past 20 years, then we pass it off to Steve Running as he has been a supporter from the modeling committee since nearly the beginning (guaranteed to entertain). Then Marcy Litvak will present ideas for the future. Refreshments will follow the first hour of talks.

2015 ESA Annual Meeting
2015-08-09 - 2015-08-14 | Baltimore Convention Center, 1 West Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD, 21201, United States
Ecological Science at the Frontier: Celebrating ESA’s Centennial
The Ecological Society of America currently stands at a boundary between 100 successful years for the Society and an uncharted future for the planet. The Centennial meeting will support both retrospective and prospective sessions – looking back at the history of the field of ecology as well as forward into its future. We welcome proposals examining historical topics and the history of ecology, as well as proposals from early career scientists and students that shine a light on the future of ecological science. Proposals that explore interdisciplinary connections with areas of social and natural science outside of ecology or that relate to ecological education at any level are also encouraged.

Methods in Environmental Data Acquisition: Remote Data Acquisition (RDA) Sensor Training Workshop
2015-06-14 - 2015-06-21 | Sevilleta Field Station, NM, NM, United States
Applications are now being accepted for the 2015 offering of our Methods in Environmental Data Acquisition short course, otherwise known as the Remote Data Acquisition (RDA) Sensor Training Workshop (http://sevfs.unm.edu/courses/rda/).
This intensive course will be held 14-21 June 2015 and is hosted by the University of New Mexico Sevilleta Field Station in beautiful central New Mexico. By using a combination of field demonstrations, lectures, hands-on activities, and discussions, we will cover several topics fundamental to the remote acquisition of environmental sensor data:

Basic electronics
Photovoltaic power for remote instrumentation
TCP/IP networking and Wi-Fi telemetry systems
Sensor theory and Campbell Scientific datalogger wiring and programming

This year, we are offering two optional post-course field trips on Saturday, June 20th. We anticipate these field trips will enhance the overall experience of participants.
The number of participants we will be able to accommodate is limited. While preference will be given to technicians, graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and early career faculty who demonstrate research needs in one or more of these areas, anyone interested in the topic of remote environmental sensor data acquisition is encouraged to apply.
Please visit our website (http://sevfs.unm.edu/courses/rda) for more detailed information about topics covered, field trips, and course fees. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me directly.
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you!
