[ES_JOBS_NET] application to openings to participate to Novus Workshop 3

[LEYS Bérangère]

Dear committee,

I would like to post an announcement of an application to a workshop on 
Biogeochemical responses to ecosystem disturbances from decadal to 
millennial time-scales (announcement paste below).
I believe that your members will be interested to attend to this. Even 
if it is not a job /per se/, that can be a very good opportunity to meet 
people, start collaborations, and acquire and analyse data with experts 
of different fields!
Let me know your decision.

With my very best wishes,
Merry Christmas!
Bérangère

*Novus Workshop 3 *: Biogeochemical responses to ecosystem disturbances 
from decadal to millennial time scales

Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

May 16-21, 2016

The Novus Research Coordination Network focuses on integrating long and 
short timescale approaches to understanding ecosystem response to 
disturbance. We are organizing a workshop to bring together researchers 
on this topic, and we invite you now to apply for a limited number of 
available openings to participate in the workshop. The deadline for 
application**is*Friday 22, January 2016.*

The workshop format is an active technique exchange among 
paleoecologists, dendrochronologists, and neo-ecosystem ecologists in an 
oak-savanna environment.

These oak ecosystems are important because of their vastness, diversity, 
and many ecological and economical values. However, they are 
highly-threatened due partly to historical fire suppression. Although 
prescribed fires are used to help regenerate and restore the oak-savanna 
ecosystem, the past fire regime of this area is not well-understood, nor 
is the role of nutrient and carbon cycling. The workshop theme is about 
the fire regimes of the oak-savanna ecosystem and the biogeochemical 
consequences at short and long temporal scales.

The workshop will be an entire week, with three days in the _field_, at 
Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, and three days in _labs_ at the 
University of Minnesota processing samples.
