Soil systems
The course consists of two parts:
1) Three literature group meetings prior a one-week workshop and one final group meeting after the workshop: 18th and 25th of January, 1st of February and a concluding meeting on the 15th of February. During these meetings, we will review selected research and review papers. Moreover, students will give an oral presentation of their research (~15 minutes).
2) A workshop at Ultuna will be held between 8th – 12th of February with participation of international leading scientists in this research area (see below).
Participation in the workshop and group meetings are compulsory! However, there is no need to be present in Uppsala for the group meetings as we can set up a video-link.
Plan for workshop lectures:
Lectures (approximately 9:00 – 12:00 and 13:00 – 16:00), including morning and afternoon tea breaks. The participants are expected to actively participate in the discussions.
Monday, 8th February: Importance of soil systems for ecosystem services
Tuesday, 9th February: Soil interaction in the natural soil habitat – technical advances I
Wednesday, 10th February: Soil interaction in the natural soil habitat – technical advances II
Thursday, 11th February: Importance of soil systems for ecosystem services – various spatial scales
Friday, 12th February: The challenge and future for soil systems sciences (summary)
