Subject: Annotated bibliography of influential research in paleoecology
Apologies for cross posting.
This is an announcement for an online survey of influential
literature in the broad field of paleoecology. The goal of the
survey is to create a bibliography that represents the important
directions of research in paleoecology. This bibliography is
developed by anonymous contributions from anyone whose research or
teaching is influenced in some way by work in the field of
paleoecology, not necessarily only from people who consider
themselves paleoecologists. The bibliography and annotations may be
viewed as a formatted list or imported into EndNote software.
The motivation for this survey is to demonstrate the current research
areas in paleoecology for an upcoming discussion at the upcoming ESA
annual meeting on the "Future of Paleoecology", sponsored by the
Paleoecology Section of ESA. With many investigators pursuing new
directions and techniques, exciting new developments are occurring in
paleoecology. This community-wide discussion will focus on where the
field is headed. The online survey is designed so people not
attending the discussion may share thoughts electronically. Already,
the list of references is impressive, many with insightful comments
attached to individual references, but some major sub-fields of
paleoecology are underrepresented. We hope you will contribute and
make this survey a success.
The survey is at: http://www.life.uiuc.edu/hu/ESAsurvey/
Thank you,

Subject: abstracts due: Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology
FINAL CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Due 1 July 2003
Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology
to be held at the
University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia
8-10 December 2003
This symposium will bring together leading researchers from around the
world to discuss current knowledge of the responses of stream ecosystems
to urban land use, best approaches to mitigation of impacts, and new
directions for research.
Time is running out! All abstracts must be received by 1 July.
Note that we are exploring the possibility of funding delegates from
developing countries.
