NCER is a national conference on ecosystem restoration presenting state-of-the art science and engineering, planning and policy in a partnership environment. One of the country's largest meetings on Ecosystem Restoration, NCER is only held every two years, and meets near large scale restoration programs including but not limited to the Missouri and Mississippi River Basins, the Louisiana Coastal Area, the Everglades, San Francisco Bay/Delta, Chesapeake Bay, the Great Lakes and Puget Sound, to name a few. NCER 2013 will be held July 29 - August 2 at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center just outside Chicago, IL. Owned by the City/Villages of Schaumburg, the Renaissance has ample space to accommodate all of our meeting, poster and exhibit requirements quite comfortably. We hope you will make plans to attend this innovative and interactive conference which will attract more than 500 participants and feature presentations on every aspect of Ecosystem Restoration. Who Should Attend NCER A premier gathering of ecosystem restoration professionals from across the country, NCER is a collaborative effort and we invite you to join us and be part of the discussion!

EcoLunch seminar tomorrow - Dr. Jennifer Lau from KBS
by Musser, Christal A. 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Greetings, Please join us for Ecolunch tomorrow (Wednesday), Aug. 22 at 12:30 PM in Lilly G-456. Dr. Jennifer Lau from Kellogg Biological Station (Michigan State University) will be presenting a talk entitled "Evolutionary consequences of global change: Effects on populations, communities, and ecosystems." An abstract of her talk is copied below. You can learn more about her research at her website: https://www.msu.edu/~jenlau/index.html ABSTRACT: Because of human activities, plant populations face a wide variety of novel environmental conditions. I use experimental manipulations in the field to investigate how plant populations respond both ecologically and evolutionarily to climate change, nitrogen deposition, and increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations. My work uses quantitative genetic analyses to predict how anthropogenic environmental changes will affect the evolution of plants and experimental evolution studies to test for rapid evolutionary responses to global change. My work suggests that species interactions play a key role in mediating plant evolutionary responses to global change. As a result, to understand how global changes will influence plant evolution, weneed to understand how global changes affect species interactions and plantevolution in natural communities -- Nancy C.
