Post-Doc position at JRC Ispra, Italy
Submitted by stefan_reis on Mon, 12/07/2010 - 10:10.JRC is looking for a post-doctoral researcher to work on the simulation of trace gas fluxes from terrestrial ecosystems in Europe. The tasks will include to contribute to the improvement of models that comprehensively assess the nitrogen and carbon cycles in forest and agricultural systems at the regional and global scale, and to contribute to the development of meta-models combining results of various models, field observations and remote sensing products into a consistent and integrated modeling framework.

SUMMERSCHOOL 20-26 June 2010 - Greenhouse gas emissions from rural activities
Submitted by agnieszka_eljasz on Mon, 22/03/2010 - 08:55.Course introduction
To mitigate climate change, demanding greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are being negotiated.
Meeting these targets requires putting to work a broad and integrated range of reduction options, including those related to land use. Mitigation efforts in forestry, agriculture and land management need quantification against a large natural background variability. To merit the
reduction achievements by motivated stakeholders in these sectors and to prevent leakage to less committed players requires a form of full carbon accounting.
