Training Course

The training course at the AsiaFlux2019 will cover recent advances in micrometeorological instrumentation and the use of
LI-COR systems in ecosystem-scale flux monitoring.
Maximum 40 persons, Free of charge closed

Venue: local bus and Gifu University building information, download here -> local information

Gifu University, Gifu prefecture, Japan

※Attention
The location of Gifu University in Gifu city is far from Takayama city. (about two hours by limited express.)
