If you work with waders in Europe and have field information (dates and numbers, sites and what they do there) of autumm and spring passages on the directions: Greenland SSE (Iceland and England) Siberia and Scandinavia SSW ( Baltic Sea, Nl,Fr) Please contact me in (jpassas@ciunix.uc.pt) See also: http://ciunix.uc.pt/~jpassas/limicolas.html Thank you anyway. Joao Pedro Neves ------------------------------ From: Richard Brugam Subject: Message for paleoecology section of ESA Dear Members of the Paleoecology Section: Due to an oversight on my part the announcement of the Deevey award will did not make the December issue of the Bulletin. It will be in the March Bulletin. I want to remind you that to be considered for the Deevey award students must submit their abstract for the Annual Meeting by Jan. 31. Please consult the September ESA Bulletin for information on how to submit the abstract. The meeting will be in Providence, R.I. I have attached a copy of the form to apply for the Deevey Award to this email message. The form will also appear in the March esa Bulletin. Yours truly, Dick Brugam rbrugam@daisy.ac.siue.edu --------------------------------------------------------------- STUDENT AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN PALEOECOLOGY Edward S. Deevey Award The Paleoecology Section of the Ecological Society of America has established the Edward S. Deevey award in memory of Dr. Deevey's efforts and dedication in fostering the highest quality of paleoecological research by graduate students. The award of $100 is offered for the best oral or poster presentation in Paleoecology by a graduate student at the Annual ESA Meeting. Paleoecology is defined to include studies of ecological processes and patterns that occur at or greater than decade long time scales and that use or interpret direct, long-term biological, paleontological, sedimentary, historical or similar records. A candidate for the award must be the sole or senior author of the abstract. He or she must also prepare and present an oral paper or prepare, set up and present a poster at the Annual Meeting. The candidate must be a graduate student or have completed the degree within 9 months of the presentation. The presentation must describe research used for obtaining a graduate degree. The evaluation criteria parallel those used in selecting the ESA Buell and Braun Award winners. The winner of the award will be announced in the ESA Bulletin following the Annual Meeting. For the 1996 Annual Meeting two Deevey award contestants will be selected by lot receive free registration at the Annual Meeting. If you wish to be considered for the Deevey award at the 1996 Annual Meeting, please submit the application form below AND a copy of your abstract to the Section Chair: Dr. Richard B. Brugam, Box 1651, Biology, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, IL 62026. Please write, call (618) 692-2377, fax (618)-692-3174, or email: rbrugam@daisy.ac.siue.edu if you have any questions. The deadline for submission of the form and abstract to the section Chair is 15 April 1996.

You will see a link to ``grants'' as one of the menu items. Alternatively the grants menu can be accessed directly at: <http://www.epa.gov/OER/>. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In its Request for Applications (RFA) the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites research grant applications in the following areas of special interest to its mission: (1) Ecological assessment, (2) Exposure of children to pesticides, (3) Air quality, (4) Analytical and monitoring methods, (5) Drinking water, (6) Environmental fate and treatment of toxics and hazardous wastes, (7) Environmental statistics, (8) High-performance computing, and (9) Exploratory research, including Early Career Research Awards. The RFA provides relevant background information, summarizes EPA's interest in the topic areas, and describes the application and review process. Additional programs to be announced separately will involve cooperation with the National Science Foundation and other agencies. In cooperation with the National Science Foundation, three areas of interest to both agencies are identified: ``water and watersheds,'' ``technology for a sustainable environment,'' and [[Page 2255]] ``decision-making and valuation for environmental policy.'' EPA, NSF, DOE, and ONR intend to collaborate in an RFA on bioremediation. Separate solicitations on ``endocrine disruptors'' and ``risk-based decisions for contaminated sediments,'' possibly jointly with other agencies, will be announced later.

[FR Doc. 96-1210 Filed 1-24-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560-50-P Subject: Re: Global Warming Impacts These are the main focal areas of what is generally referred to as the "Global Change Programme" - UNEP, FAO, the US Government (Committee on Earth and Environmental Sciences), the US National Research Council Committee on the Human Dimensions of Global Change, the Canadian government, and many others have very active research and publishing activities in these areas. One starting place on the Web is CIESIN (Center for Integrated Earth Studies Information Network) at http://www.ciesin.org/ Another excellent search tool is Altavista (http://www.altavista.digital.com). Using terms like "global change", "climate change", and "global warming" you will get hundreds of good sources of information (and thousands of not so good ones).
