1. General information
Date: October 10-14, 2022
Location: Lecture Hall, MPI for Biogeochemistry, Jena
Teacher: Mathias Goeckede, Olaf Kolle, Tarek El-Madany, Mark Schlutow
This workshop will cover 5 days, split up into Basics at the beginning, followed by the Post-processing and excursion. The course itself will consist of lectures, hands-on classes with software tools, instrument sessions the laboratory, and an excursion to the MPI-BGC field site in Gebesee.
Participants will be informed about the dates in June.
