Upcoming Conferences |
| EEClima, the International Congress within the framework of the Managing Effects of the Global Climate on Estuarine Diversity and Productivity project, is scheduled for 5-8 April 2011 in Porto, Portugal. The theme is Estuaries in a Changing Climate. Topics include: Trophic interactions; Molecular evolution; Eco-physiology; Dynamic energy budgets modelling; Phylogeography studies; Population dynamics modelling; and Integrated Coastal Zone Management. |
| |
| SAMPAA 7 - the Conference of the Science & Management of Protected Areas Association, scheduled for 17-22 April 2011 in Banff, Alberta, Canada. SAMPAA 7 will examine the evolving roles of government, Aboriginal peoples, non-government organizations, industry, the science community and the public in establishing and managing protected areas for the future. It will explore the roles and connections of urban parks to larger protected areas, and it will focus on how to build support to ensure that parks and protected areas remain relevant for the next century. It will also look beyond protected areas, focusing on other ways to achieve large-scale sustainability of landscapes and seascapes. It will span the social and ecological sciences, local knowledge, education theory, and the arts. |
