The Estación Biológica de Doñana (CSIC) (Sevilla, Spain) invites applications for its fourth international course on climate change entitled ‘Ecological Consequences of Climate Change: Integrating Research Approaches’ taking place from 30 September to 11 October 2013 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.

Invited teachers: Isabelle Chuine, CEFE (CNRS), Montpellier, France; Solomon Dobrowski, University of Montana, USA; Mary Edwards, University of Southampton, UK; Arndt Hampe, UMR1202 BIOGECO (INRA), Cestas, France; Ingolf Kühn, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research-UFZ, Germany; Jorge Lobo, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), Madrid, Spain; Fernando Valladares, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), Madrid, Spain.

Organizers: Juan José Negro, director of Estación Biológica de Doñana; Arndt Hampe.

Application deadline is 7 July.

Please send applications in a single PDF file and any related questions to Begoña Arrizabalaga. The course language will be English. Support from the Gas Natural Chair ‘Biodiversity Conservation under Climate Change’ and FP7 project ECOGENES, enables us to limit registration fees to 100 Euro and to cover all costs for transportation between Sevilla and Doñana National Park, accommodation and meals during the 2 week course.
