Il workshop "Environmental Field Techniques for Scaling Molecular Physiology to Leaf and Crop Canopy," organizzato dal PEPG (Plant Environmental Physiology Group), della società scientifica britannica BES (British Ecological Society) si svolgerà a Lisbona, Portogallo dal 12 al 16th Settembre 2016. Si riportano di seguito delle notizie comunicate dal PEPG.
The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for MSc, PhD students and early career researchers to gain training in plant ecophysiology techniques, including:
- Leaf-level processes including photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, water status and hydraulic conductance.
- Canopy processes including stable isotopes, monitoring canopy development/Leaf Area Index, IR thermography and soil water/nutrient status.
- theory and practice of long-term monitoring under field conditions, incl. micrometeorology, eddy covariance, and remote sensing methodologies
This comprehensive five day workshop provides an unrivalled opportunity for manufacturers to introduce their latest equipment and provide hands-on training. The successful format includes daily lectures introducing theory of techniques, demonstration of the equipment, followed by hands on sessions for participants to collect data. Evening sessions allow group discussions of techniques and data analysis, -modelling, as well as a formal research poster session
Internationally renowned scientists will explain and demonstrate key techniques:
Prof. Susanne von Caemmerer (ANU); Prof. Steve Long FRS (Illinois, USA); Dr. Bernard Genty (CNRS, France); Dr Xinguang Zhu (PICB, China); Prof. Howard Griffiths (Cambridge, UK); Dr. Andrew Leakey (Illinois, USA); Dr. Wanne Kromdijk (Illinois, USA); Prof. Lawren Sack (UCLA, USA); Prof. Kathy Steppe (Gent University, Belgium); Dr. Colin Campbell (Decagon Devices, USA); Dr. Katie Field (Leeds, UK); Prof. Carl Bernacchi (Illinois, USA); Dr. Gary Lanigan (Teagasc, Ireland); Dr. Saoirse Tracy (UCD, Ireland); Dr. Craig Yendrek (Illinois, USA); Dr. Olga Grant (UCD, Dublin); Dr. Steven Garrity (Decagon Devices, USA); Dr. Jochem Evers (Wageningen University); Dr. Erik Murchie (Nottingham, UK); Dr. Tracy Lawson (Essex, UK); Dr. Steven Driever (Wageningen University); Dr. Richard Webster (Aberystwyth, UK); Prof. Colin Osborne (Sheffield, UK); Dr. Matthew Davey (Cambridge, UK).
