Tackling Technical Challenges in Land Data Assimilation
The AIMES Land Data Assimilation Working Group is organizing a virtual kickoff workshop to bring together land DA scientists to highlight a range of DA methods used within the community, discuss challenges facing different modeling communities, and identify strategies for addressing those challenges. The workshop will be held June 14-16, 2021. Learn more and register here.
Virtual Summer School: Land Use and Ecosystem Change
Overview: Food and bioenergy demands of a growing global population and societies’ changing lifestyles are increasing the pressures on land and ecosystems. Further pressures arise from the demands on land resources for other ecosystem services, and the variable (often negative) impacts of climate change on plant productivity. These multiple, often seemingly conflicting demands on land and...
Seeking nominations for an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship in modelling terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity responses to environmental and socioeconomic changes
The KIT Global Land Ecosystem Modelling and Land Use Change and Climate Research groups are seeking candidates to be nominated for a Humboldt Research Fellowship funded under the new Henriette Herz-Scouting-Programme of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
