Virtual Alpine Observatory (VAO) Symposium
Lieu de l'événement
The Virtual Alpine Observatory project (VAO) will host an international symposium to present its latest findings and encourage networking activities. The symposium will be held in Salzburg, Austria, and will include scientific presentations.
Alpine high altitude research stations contribute significantly to the monitoring, understanding, and forecasting of processes in the Earth system. Their exposed location creates almost ideal conditions for the investigation of many physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, geosphere, cryo- and hydrospheres, and biosphere. The Virtual Alpine Observatory project supports the research activities of the alpine high altitude research stations by aggregating their measurements and performing joint research projects. Access to other data (e.g. satellite-based) and to high performance computing facilities creates rare research opportunities.
The symposium provides an ideal forum for obtaining up-to-date information about the latest developments within the project, exchanging ideas, identifying future trends, and networking with the international high altitude research community.
Registration will be possible at www.bayfor.org as from autumn 2016.
