September 2 - 14,
2008, Peyresq, Alpes de Haute-Provence, France
The ALTER-Net Summer School shall
contribute to durable integration and spread of excellence within and beyond
the network, with a view to promote interdisciplinary approaches. The 2008
Summer School will focus on:
- Biodiversity in Europe - state of the art;
- Monitoring and assessment;
- Critical ecosystem properties
to sustain ecosystem services
- Resilience of social and
natural systems ;
- Ecological and socio-economic
modelling;
- Linking biodiversity research
with policy and the public.
Approximately 23 experts will give lectures
on the themes mentioned above. In the afternoons, working groups will study at
different scales an example region guided by tutors. They will discuss
implications of findings for actual European ecosystems and their services and
compile these in a written report. An excursion will illustrate land-use change
in the Provence.
See online information, the preliminary programme and application forms .

LTER – Long-term Ecological Research - organized within a network of sites, was initiated by US ecologists who managed to put through a special program promoted and funded by US-NSF. The main idea behind was to guarantee a continuous basic monitoring and ecological research in selected sites and thus to enable the assessment of interannual changes and cycles effected by natural drivers as well as of human-induced changes and pressures. This might help to elucidate mechanisms of ecosystem functioning and adaptation in a changing environment and also to make scenarios and predictions of ecosystems status in future. |
