When and where? 19-28 August 2018, Charles Darwin Research Station, Puerto Ayora, Galápagos, Ecuador
Deadline to apply: 4 June 2018
Aim
Here we aim to use natural CO gradients around Roca Redonda to conduct in situ
observations using a wide range of techniques for long-term capacity building
(chemistry, biology, geology, etc) and data col lection. In order to achieve this, we
propose the realization of an advance training course, using natural CO seeps as
experimental units, to be held on the Galapagos Island at the Charles Darwin
Research Station facilities in Galapagos.
Objectives
During this course, participants will be trained in different aspects of OA research such as:
• Standard measurements for carbon system parameters, including analytical chemistry techniques.
• The use of stable isotopes as a major tool in food web analysis in the framework of OA research.
• In-situ sample collection in a CO2 vent for chemical and biological analysis.
• The study of benthic community structure under the influence of high CO2 conditions.
