Workshop: Respiration Regimes in River Networks: A cross-biome perspective

September 18-20, Ovronnaz, Switzerland. 
Support: NSF Macrosystems, Swiss National Foundation

Organizers:   Jim Heffernan (james.heffernan@duke.edu)
                       Tom Battin (tom.battin@epfl.ch)

Scientific goals: This workshop aims to advance our conceptual and technical understanding of the dynamics of respiration in streams. Before, during, and after the workshop, working groups of participants will:

  1. Develop a cross-system conceptual model of heterotrophic regimes
  2. Empirically link the timing of respiration to spatial and temporal variation in OM inputs. 
  3. Evaluate temperature effects on respiration.
  4. Integrate O2 and CO2 time series into statistical models of metabolism models
  5. Review and develop approaches to link heterotrophic regimes to microbial and metazoan communities

Cost of attendance is travel and hotel; there is no registration fee.

Funds from the US NSF are available to support attendance of:
  • Junior Scientists (Undergrad through postdoc), especially members of under-represented groups
  • Faculty at Minority Serving Institutions
  • Potential collaborators and contributors to the StreamPULSE database
  • Via the Swiss National Foundation, we can support attendance of non-US participants

To participate in the workshop, contact Jim Heffernan (james.heffernan@duke.edu) and Tom Battin (tom.battin@epfl.ch).
