World Renewable Energy Congress IX and Exhibition
From Saturday 19 August 2006 - 8:00am
To Friday 25 August 2006 - 5:00pm
Every day

At no time in modern history has energy played a more crucial role in the development and well being of nations than at present. The source and nature of energy, the security of supply and the equity of distribution, the environmental impact of its supply and utilization, are all crucial matters to be addressed by suppliers, consumers, governments, industry, academia, and . nancial institutions. The World Renewable Energy Congress (WREC), a major recognised forum for networking between these sectors, addresses these issues through regular meetings and exhibitions, bringing together representatives of all those involved in the supply, distribution, consumption and development of energy sources which are benign, sustainable, accessible and economically viable.

2nd International Symposium on the Environmental Physiology of Ectotherms and Plants (ISEPEP2)

ISEPEP arose from two previous meetings: the International Symposium on the Cold Hardiness of Animals and Plants and the European Workshop on
Invertebrate Ecophysiology. It aims to cover the environmental physiology of invertebrates, plants and vertebrate ectotherms (fish, amphibians, reptiles).

Subject: AGU session B27 Savanna ecosystems: Field observations and manipulation experiments

Dear list members:

We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the 2006 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in San Francisco (December 11-15, 2006) and invite you to submit an abstract before September 7, 2006.

B27. Savanna ecosystems: Field observations and manipulation experiments.

Sponsor: Biogeosciences
CoSponsor: Hydrology
Global Environmental Change

Session Description: Savanna ecosystems, covering about 20% of the Earth's land surface, are transitional zones between forested environments and grasslands, and represent areas sensitive to climate change. Influential factors for the changing productivity of savannas include for example, local hydrology, atmospheric circulation, and nutrients.  An example of a savanna that could be reported on in this session is the Kalahari.  This savanna, situated in central southern Africa, represents an ancient biome, which has evolved to its present state over millions of years.  The Kalahari sand sheet occupies 2.5 million ha in southern Africa, probably represents the largest continuous surface of sand in the world. The Kalahari transect is an IGBP “Mega transect” dominated by different types of savanna vegetation. It is an area with relatively similar deep aeolian soils, and a strong south to north gradient in rainfall, from 200 mm in the south to more than 1000 mm mean annual precipitation (MAP) in the north. These factors provide an excellent basis for gradient studies at the subcontinental scale and a testing bed for global carbon and vegetation models without confounding soil effects. In this session, we seek contributions describing results from field observation, field manipulations, modeling studies, and remote sensing studies that address water, carbon and nutrient dynamics and their interactions in Kalahari region as well as other savanna ecosystems.

Subject: IMMEDIATE SHORT-TERM Streams Field Tech with TNC

There is an immediate short-term opening for a field technician position with The Nature Conservancy in Astoria, Oregon. The Science Technician I - Streams will participate in research efforts that further The Nature Conservancy's terrestrial and aquatic restoration goals on the Conservancy's Ellsworth Creek Preserve, located in southwestern Washington. The Science Technician I – Streams will partake in a rigorous survey of streams that is intended to provide an assessment of stream habitat throughout the watershed. Work involves sampling of permanent reaches in headwater streams in order to characterize stream habitat and water quality. The nature of the work requires extended periods working in very rugged terrain (work week is typically four 10 hour days), often in inclimate weather. The crew is based in Asotria, Oregon. This position is expected to start late August, and continue through September 29, 2006. More information on the position can be found at TNC's website: www.tnc.org (please allow a few days for posting).
