Who is this course for?
Training under this program is intended for curators and employees of carbon landfills, for managers of environmental and climate projects, experts on climate change and climate risks, environmental engineers, environmental protection specialists working in the field of greenhouse gas accounting gases; teachers of higher educational institutions; students receiving higher professional education.
What will you learn?
The purpose of the program: obtaining and/or improving theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of organizing and conducting complex monitoring at specialized monitoring sites ground-based observations to assess the fluxes of climate-active gases using the latest measuring equipment, modern physico-chemical laboratory and field methods of implementation measurements.
Program objectives:
1. Acquisition, expansion, systematization of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in planning, preparation and performing field ground measurements when monitoring the emission and flow of climate-active gases at specialized training grounds.
2. Formation and systematization of knowledge about the theoretical foundations and hardware equipment of physical and chemical methods used in modern practical approaches to quantitative measurements of greenhouse gas fluxes gases
3. Gaining knowledge and skills in installing and operating modern field and laboratory equipment, used to conduct integrated ecosystem observations when monitoring greenhouse gases in carbon training grounds.
