Description
The surface ocean lower atmosphere study (solas) was designed to study the biogeochemical interactions between the air and sea, which are important to understand how these two components of the earth system influence global environmental change. Ocean and atmospheric scientists often do not work together, so solas created (early in the project) a mechanism to build scientific capacity in the science of this interface. Solas has organized a 2-week international summer school in alternating years since 2003 (though the most recent class took place in 2013). The first five summer schools were held in corsica, france, followed by a summer school in china in 2013. The solas summer schools bring together about 70 early-career scientists, mostly PHD-level students, with 15 worldleading scientists, from a variety of fields. They participate in a combination of plenary lectures and hands-on practical workshops in small groups on core solas science, but also on "soft skills", such as scientific communication. By providing excellent training, these summer schools help prepare the next generation of scientists to contribute to the understanding of global change. The summer schools provide extensive opportunities for participants to interact and network with their peers, who will become their future scientific colleagues. The 2018 summer school will follow a similar format to the previous six schools, and will be back in corsica, france, from 23 july to 4 august 2018. The school will include the following components: lectures on the basic topics of air-sea exchange - hands-on workshops in small groups - topical issue sessions - student posters sessions - student short oral presentations. These components, and the relative time devoted to each, have been fine-tuned over the past summer schools.
