Tellus-BALTEX Workshop on

Biogeochemical Land and Baltic Sea Interactions driven by Climate and Land Use

1-2 December 2008, University of Gothenburg, Sweden


Programme

The workshop is intended to provide a platform for an open exchange of views and information. Therefore, ample time is allowed for discussions.
Following presentations, at least 10 minutes time will be allowed for discussion. At the end of each day, 50 minutes are dedicated for an open discussion, during which 1-2 slides may be shown, as appropriate. There will be a poster session on the evening of the first day.
