Glenview Hotel, Delgany, Co. Wicklow
The purpose of this conference was to bring together the science of recently funded research projects on Greenhouse gases (GHGs) in Ireland.
In addition to the conference we propose to publish 12 scientific papers in a Special Issue of the journal Agricultural and Forest Meteorology with a publication date before the end of 2007.
The papers will be syntheses, reviews and summaries of the work on greenhouse gas fluxes carried out in Ireland over the past five years.
The conference was heavily subscribed, with researchers from UCC, TCD, UCD, NUI Galway, NUI Maynooth, University of Limerick and Teagasc attending as well as representatives from the EPA and the Department of Agriculture and Food. Prof. Riccardo Valentini of the University of Tuscia, chairman of the CARBOEUROPE flux project and co-ordinator of the EC Environment and Climate programme EUROFLUX was also in attendance.
