SUMMARY:Sardinia 2020 WG5 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]During thousands of years\, Sardinia\, as other Mediterranean regions\, developed a socio-ecological mosaic landscape composed by agriculture\, forest and shrublands. Nowadays\, the idea of mosaic is still considered as one of the best infrastructures to mitigate the impact of natural hazards\, such us wildfires\, pests and flooding. However\, in the last 60 years\, the migrations due to industrialization from rural to urban areas\, caused a devaluation of rural economies and led to rural abandonment. The impacts of this abandonment are still very visible in the land\, thus dense forest and shrublands now occupy the traditionally managed landscapes. These unmanaged lands generate a much higher risk\, e.g. of large wildfires\, for rural communities and also for urban population living in wildland urban interfaces under highly vulnerable conditions.\nUnderstanding the way societies need to co-exist with natural risks\, enhancing risk mitigation from a bottom-up approach\, encouraging actions done by local communities and discussing the best way to apply traditional land management\, are key actions needed in order to improve risk management. To succeed\, all these actions shall be linked to a sustainable economic model that is not only based in the economic values\, but a model that includes other values contributing to build resilient landscapes and societies.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Download the meeting flyer.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \n1 st Working Group 5 Meeting & Workshop with stakeholders\nAssociazione Badde Salighes 1879\,\n24 and 27 March 2020 \n[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_tour][vc_tta_section title=”Day 1″ tab_id=”1562497423697-09138465-05b2″][vc_column_text]8:30 – 10:00 Registration.

SUMMARY:Sevilla 2020 Training School on Soil Organic Matter and Fire
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n1st European FIRElinks Training School\n“What does fire to Soil Organic Matter? Chemical and physical characterization of pyrogenic organic matter and its impact on soil functions”\nMarch 29 – April 3\, 2020\, Seville\, Spain \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Vegetation fires are part of our world since geological times. Although they are devastating\, they offer changes for renewal of ecological systems and landscapes. Emitting huge amounts of greenhouse gases\, charcoal residues can – after their incorporated into the soils – increase the C-sequestration potential of soils. These are only a few of the many contradicting aspects of vegetation\nfires that have to be understood for a comprehensive analysis of the impact of fire in a world affected by global change.\nAs a start\, the intention of the present course is to discuss the effects on fire on the system “soil” and to obtain insights into some powerful analytical tool presently available for its characterization.\nBased on this\, the objective of this training course is the introduction of PhD students and post-Docs \ni) into typical methods for characterizing soil properties and soil microbial activities\nii) into modern analytical tools such as spectroscopic (NMR; FTIR\, IRMS) or microscopic techniques (TEM\, NMR-micro imaging) \nboth within lectures given by experts and practical work in the lab and in the field. \nImportant deadlines:\n15/02/2020: Abstract submission\n03/03/2020: Notification of Acceptance\n15/03/2020: Deadline for payment \nRegistration Fee: 120 € (covers participation\, course material and lunch) \nThe FIRElinks COST Action provides scholarships for excellent young researchers. The awardees will be selected based on their abstract and the CV. \nMaximal participation: 25 \nApplication procedure:\nPlease send the application with\n– your curriculum vitae (CV) and\n– an abstract (1 page\, 12 pt) explaining:\na) Why do you want to participate?\nb) What do you expect to get out?\nc) How will you use the information and experience that you gain? \nto: cost.summerschool@gmail.com \nAt the meeting the own research shall be presented within a 20 min- talk[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581864833072{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Download the training school flyer.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_tour][vc_tta_section title=”Sunday\, March 29″ tab_id=”1562497423697-09138465-05b2″][vc_column_text]18:00 registration\, and short tour through Seville[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Monday\, March 30″ tab_id=”1562497423722-b3965eb0-0bf6″][vc_column_text]9h00-13h30:\n– Welcome and organization of workgroups\n– Introduction: What is FireLinks?
