Hello
could you advertise the following summer school:
Thanks a lot
Alpine Summer School - Course XXIII
Land-atmosphere interactions: coupling between the energy, water and carbon cycles
Valsavarenche, Valle d'Aosta (Italy), 21 June (arrival)- 2 July (departure), 2014
http://www.to.isac.cnr.it/aosta2015 <http://www.to.isac.cnr.it/aosta2015>
Subject:
The land surface and the overlying atmosphere are tightly coupled systems. These feedbacks are regulated through the interface: the planetary boundary layer in which intense turbulence occurs. Land-atmosphere interactions are important sources of seasonal climate predictability in several parts of the world. Soil moisture and vegetation are key parameters influencing land-atmosphere interactions in the climate system by modifying the surface energy, moisture and carbon fluxes, and boundary conditions for the boundary layer. Because soil moisture, vegetation, turbulence (boundary layer and moist convection) organize on many different temporal and spatial scales, the study of land-atmosphere interactions has been notoriously difficult. The study of land-atmosphere interactions encompass a wide range of disciplines, which will be discussed during the summer school from soil science, surface hydrology, hydrometeorology, plant physiology, turbulence, convection and atmosphere circulation. As such there is no single type of land-atmosphere interactions but a wide variety of cases embedded within the larger-scale general circulation.
There have been considerable developments in recent years on the subject so that an up-to-date summer school presenting a quantitative approach outlining physical principles, and the mathematical basis of land-atmosphere interactions is required. A book, following up on this summer school and using the lecture materials will be published by Wiley in 2016.
Courses
The courses will cover:
Surface energy, carbon and water balances, soil-plant-atmosphere continuum and plant physiology (motion through the soil, roots, xylem and stomata), surface and boundary layer turbulence, feedback analysis, heterogeneity, shallow and deep convection, extremes, annual and cold season coupling between radiation-turbulence and precipitation, metrics in land-stmohspere interactions, modeling and remote sensing observations.
Financial aid
US-based student may apply for financial aid if they apply before December 1, 2014.

Hi,
I'd appreciate it if the following job advertisement could be circulated
please. Feel free to forward to any potential students/institutions
where people might be interested.
Regards,
Nicholas Deutscher
------------------------------------------------------------
The Centre for Atmospheric Chemistry (CAC) in the Faculty of Science,
Medicine and Health (SMAH) at the University of Wollongong is seeking
two highly motivated PhD students to work in the area of atmospheric
measurement and modelling of greenhouse gases. The full-time, fixed-term
(3 year with possibility of 6-month extension) positions are available
for immediate commencement, and are supported by project funding from
the Australian Research Council and scholarships from the University of
Wollongong.
Applicants should have (or expect to have by the time of commencement)
an honours or masters degree in atmospheric science, applied
mathematics, earth sciences, physical chemistry or physics. Experience
and/or aptitude with computer programming, atmospheric modelling or
infrared spectroscopy would be beneficial.
Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work collaboratively
within Australia and in international networks, including with
colleagues at the University of Melbourne, California Institute of
Technology, NASA, and various European universities and research
institutes. An ability to work independently to realise project goals is
expected. The positions will remain open until filled, but preference
will be given to applicants who apply before November 30, 2014 and can
commence before March 2015.
To apply, please contact Prof. David Griffith (griffith [at] uow.edu.au)
and/or Dr. Nicholas Deutscher (ndeutsch [at] uow.edu.au) with copies of
academic transcripts, a curriculum vitae and the names and contact
information of three references. International applicants and enquiries
are encouraged, and should make initial informal contact with Prof.
Griffith and/or Dr. Deutscher before applying.
Further information regarding CAC and the projects available can be
obtained from the websites of _CAC

Deutscher <http://www.uow.edu.au/%7Endeutsch/>
(http://www.uow.edu.au/~ndeutsch/)_. The students will be able to work
in the area of Solar FTIR Remote Sensing of greenhouse gases,
specifically within the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON),
or modelling and analysis of these measurements.
