This award provides funds to establish a self sustaining two-week summer course on the modeling and measurement of ecosystem-atmosphere interactions. The course provides students and faculty with a solid foundation for addressing a very critical component of regional to continental scale processes. It introduces earth-systems researchers to the tools, theories and approaches required to evaluate current trends and predict future patterns of mass and energy exchanges between ecosystems and the atmosphere. The course represents an excellent combination of morning lectures (focusing on theory) and afternoon 'hands on' sessions in which students will make some limited measurements, analyze data, and use advanced models. Faculty for the course will be drawn from the top researchers in the fields of plant physiological ecology, biometeorology, biogeochemistry and atmospheric physics. This course differs from existing courses in emphasizing theory and modeling. As such, it has the likelihood of longer term impact than existing courses and is clearly critical in preparing the next generation of scientists to use the NEON infrastructure.

该奖项提供资金，以建立一个自我维持的为期两周的夏季课程，对生态系统-大气相互作用的建模和测量。该课程为学生和教师提供了一个坚实的基础，以解决区域到大陆规模的过程的一个非常关键的组成部分。它向地球系统研究人员介绍了评估当前趋势和预测生态系统与大气之间质量和能量交换未来模式所需的工具、理论和方法。该课程是上午讲座（侧重于理论）和下午“动手”课程的完美结合，学生将进行一些有限的测量，分析数据，并使用先进的模型。该课程的教师将从植物生理生态学，生物气象学，地球化学和大气物理学领域的顶尖研究人员中挑选。本课程与现有课程不同之处在于强调理论和建模。因此，它有可能比现有课程产生更长期的影响，显然对培养下一代科学家使用氖基础设施至关重要。
