The purpose of the 8th ABBY-Net Summer School is to train young scientists in interdisciplinary approaches to energy and ecosystem research. The program will focus on the interaction between climate change and resource management in the province of Alberta, and the impact of resource extraction on natural ecosystem functioning. Students will attend seminars on key extra-disciplinary topics (energy systems, environmental systems, energy economics, and data analysis), and participate in field excursions designed to educate participants on local resource-management issues. In the later stages, participants will be challenged to develop inter-disciplinary research proposals designed to solve practical problems related to energy development in Alberta and fcilitate future directions in Abby-Net.
