Course: Climate change (Seville, Spain)

The Estación Biológica de Doñana (CSIC) (Sevilla, Spain) invites applications for its
fifth international course on climate change entitled ‘Ecological Consequences of
Climate Change: Integrating Research Approaches’ taking place from 22 September
to 3 October 2014 in the heart of Doñana National Park. The course is open to
students at the early postdoc, PhD and Master/advanced Diploma levels who are
involved in global-change research. Its aim is to provide a synthetic overview upon
different research perspectives ranging from paleoecology to population genetics,
ecophysiology and bioclimatic modeling. The course will include lectures and
practical exercises provided by an international panel of high-profile researchers, as
well as field trips within the National Park.
