Dear colleagues, We are happy to invite you to join us in a mini-symposium and short training course on land carbon cycle modeling, held on May 19-26, 2018 at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA.
Students, post-docs and young scientists who want to learn carbon cycle modeling and modelers who want to gain simplicity in coding, diagnostic capability, and computational efficiency are especially welcome. We will talk about (1) New theories on land carbon storage dynamics; (2) Matrix representations of land carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles; (3) A unified diagnostic system for full understanding of uncertainty sources (4) Carbon cycle data assimilation system for both flux- and pool- based data (5) Semi-analytic spin-up for computational efficiency. Detailed information in available from the attachment. Interested participants can send your application, using form http://www2.nau.edu/luo-lab/?workshop to Dr. Lifen Jiang, lifen.ji...@nau.edu, by February 1, 2018. Looking forward to seeing you in Flagstaff and having fun hiking in grand canyon. Sincerely, Yuanyuan
