During summer 2018, a training workshop for plant eco-physiologists will
convene in an eastern deciduous forest at the Holden Arboretum.
Phys-Fest 2 aims to broadly train graduate students in plant
ecophysiology techniques, initiate discussions addressing research
frontiers within plant ecophysiology, and promote collegiality and
camaraderie among participants. Phys-Fest 2 is sponsored by NSF-IOS.
At Phys-Fest 2, participants will work as teams in an ecophysiological
sampling campaign to assess tree canopy water and energy exchange within
vertical gradients of the canopy. Participants will learn basic
measurement techniques for hydraulics, gas exchange, chlorophyll
fluorescence, and hyper-spectral / thermal imaging.
The workshop also includes training on scientific outreach, professional
social media, writing for public audiences, and engagement with local
stakeholders and industry representatives.
When: July 15-19, 2018
Where: Holden Arboretum - Kirtland, OH
Costs: Student and post-docs receive $500 towards travel expenses plus
nearby lodging. The workshop will cover most food and drink expenses
for all participants.
Application deadline: February 28, 2018
