Long-Term Research in Mountain Areas WorkshopTyrol, Austria
From: 29.09.2017 to: 03.10.2017Long-term research programmes have steadily gained importance over the last decades, monitoring worldwide issues such as climate change, land use changes, deposition and accumulation of pollutants, acceleration of socio-economic evolution, and analysing their influences on ecosystems. Ecological and socio-ecological questions in mountain areas can be difficult to answer in short funding cycles such as three-year projects. Thus, long-term research involving different disciplines and scales is a promising way for gaining comprehensive knowledge to develop amendatory strategies. Long-term research means standardization of methods, long-term data storing and handling, and well-defined evaluation procedures. With this workshop, the Alpine Research Centre Obergurgl of the University of Innsbruck, hepia Genevia of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland and LTSER platform Tyrolaen Alps want to provide: The workshop aims to cover three main topics: Researchers working on long-term studies in mountain areas are invited to share their results, their expertise in monitoring techniques and their experiences in stakeholder demands. Talks and posters are welcome and suggestions on discussion topics and round tables are appreciated. The Venue: Registration: Photo: Roberto Ramos Monge |
