Overall results and learned lesson in the framework of the EU co-funded Interreg PhenoALP project will be presented in the final meeting of the projec, which will be held in Torgnon - Aosta Valley (Italy), 12-14 October 2011.
The event will be a great opportunity to bring together scientists, government agencies, local administrations, protected areas, educators and students to discuss the impacts of climate change on plants and animals phenology in the Alps.

The meeting will be held over three days:
The first day is foreseen a workshop "Climate change, phenology and ecosystem processes: from Alps to Globe" for researchers, post-docs, PhD and graduate students interested in a broad overview about relationship between phenology, climate and carbon cycle.
The second day is focused on the presentation of the main results of the PhenoALP Project, encompassing scientific results but also the outcomes of the educational program and citizen science activities. In the afternoon, a discussion group on sensor-based phenological monitoring is foreseen with the aim of discussing the standardization of data collection (e.g. digital repeat photography, webcam, spectroradiometers) and data analysis methods for inferring vegetation phenological cycle.
Finally, a half day visit to PhenoALP carbon fluxes and phenology monitoring sites in Torgnon alpine grassland and larch forest is foreseen the third day.

It is our pleasure to invite you and your colleagues to attend the meeting.

Early registration closes 30 June 2011.
