Please forward to interested parties. The Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program (IISG) issues this call for research preproposals to address critical concerns facing Lake Michigan. Research is to be conducted in the 2018-2019 biennium. PIs from educational or research institutions in Illinois or Indiana are eligible for these funds. Up to $100,000 per year for two years will be available for funding projects. The funds requested must be matched by at least 50% (one nonfederal dollar for every two federal dollars requested). Proposals should address at least one of the 4 National Sea Grant Program Focus Areas: Healthy Coastal Ecosystems; Resilient Communities and Economies; Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture; Environmental Literacy and Workforce Development. In particular, we seek to fund original research projects within one or more of the following themes: * Southern Lake Michigan region coastal planning * Innovative approaches to managing and capitalizing on environmental resources * Economic value of Lake Michigan coastal areas PIs are encouraged to explore the IISG research webpages <http://iiseagrant.org/research.php> to determine how research interests fit with program priorities and identify potential extension partners. Anyone who is considering submitting a preproposal is invited to attend an informational webinar <http://iiseagrant.org/funding_core.php> on Dec. 9 at 10:30 am EST (9:30 am CST). Preproposals must be received by 6:00 pm EST (5:00 pm CST) on January 23, 2017. The full request for preproposals can be found at http://www.iiseagrant.org/research/IISG_2016RFP.pdf. Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program (IISG), a cooperative enterprise of the University of Illinois and Purdue University, supports research, technology transfer, and outreach and education activities for issues of importance to the southern Lake Michigan region in the two states. IISG is part of the National Sea Grant College Program within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Department of Commerce.

REMINER - VOTE ASAP - Qualtrics for final Selection for the 2017 spring Keystone Series
by Lee, Linda S 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

ESE Faculty and students - we need to hear from you! We received 18 responses so far for the ranking the top 3 Keystone topics for Spring, which all appear to be strong interests. I would like to wrap this up by Dec. 1 so the student leadership team can be formed to start working on the event - so PLEASE ESE FACULTY and STUDENTS - do the survey. Please rank your choices for your preference of these three topics for the spring 2017 Keystone Series focus at the following Qualtrics Link: Qualtrics for final Selection for the 2017 Spring Keystone Series<https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_b8jM4VXUxlEevXf>. 1. Standing Rock/Dakota Access Pipeline 2. Water quality issues, e.g., per/polyfluorinated compounds, which have been in the news a lot recently and in which new provisionary levels are approaching or below quantitation limits of typical commercial labs. 3. With Trump's Victory, what now? Linda S.

Qualtrics for final Selection for the 2017 spring Keystone Series
by Lee, Linda S 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

We received 15 responses to our query for what may be a good hot topic for the 2017 Spring Keystone Series. Many suggestions were interesting areas for discussion, but general and not a current 'hot' topic. For the latter, the following three topics listed below were suggested with the first one coming from the most people, followed by the second, and then the third. For the latter, while it is definitely a hot topic, I am not sure we want to go there right now because it would be challenging to review science-based materials in which to foster a productive discussion. Please rank your choices at the following Qualtrics Link: Qualtrics for final Selection for the 2017 Spring Keystone Series<https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_b8jM4VXUxlEevXf> for your preference of these three topics for the spring 2017 Keystone Series focus. 1.

Re: ESE-faculty-list Requesting Your Input for the Keystone Series
by Musser, Christal A. 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Here is a final reminder if you are wanting to provide input on the Keystone topic for 2017. Please see the email below. Deadline is Friday, Nov. 11th. From: Musser, Christal A. Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2016 11:12 AM To: Lee, Linda S <lslee(a)purdue.edu>; ese-student-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu; 'Ese-faculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu' <Ese-faculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu> Subject: RE: Requesting Your Input for the Keystone Series Hi ESE Students and Faculty, This is a reminder to complete the Qualtrics Survey below. The Deadline is Nov. 11th. Don't delay and get your ideas / topics in today. Your input being request for the 2017 Keystone Series - Thank you! At the link below is a brief description (also provided below the link) of the purpose of the Keystone Series followed by just 2 questions (What is your suggested topic (s) that you would be excited to engage in discussion with a broader community? Followed by a request for brief statement as to why.) https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_80xJXNFZ5fyc4sd Background: The Keystone Series is a discussion-based series to address pressing, complex, current events in an interdisciplinary forum where diverse ideas and perspectives can be exchanged freely, without judgment or fear of non-conformity to the dominant bias. The main event involves a panel of invited guests that typically represent various dimensions of the targeted topic including at least economics, environmental, social, policy, and media. Behind the scenes, students and faculty explore literature across physical and social science disciplines to inform and instigate discussion resulting in a series of questions that will guide selection of a panel and the basis for the panel event. Ultimately, the goal is to create a venue that engages students and faculty across campus as well as the broader public.

ESE shirts, jackets, etc. - Some ESE students have asked about ordering ESE shirts, jackets, etc. I'm collecting orders from now until November 18th. You may look at the catalog that I have or you may go online http://www.companycasuals.com/FrecklesGraphics/start.jsp and check out what is available. What I will need is -Item number, size, color and Logo color (green or tan). Once I have this I will be able to get the price for you. Spring 2017 Registration - Spring research hours (69800 and 69900). Be sure to register early. Registration for Spring is now open and will continue through January 17th. Failure to register by Jan. 17th will invoke a $200 late registration fee. Please do not wait until the last day to register!! When registering for research, please email me the following - - number of research credit hours - CRN - I will then get approval, by email, from your advisor. Once approved I can register you for the research hours. If you have trouble getting registered for other courses let me know and I will try to help. Keep in mind: * It's very important that all graduate students conducting research - on or off campus - be appropriately registered. The number of 69800 and 69900 credits taken during the spring should reflect a graduate student's research and writing efforts. * 69800 and 69900 are scheduled from Jan. 9th through May 6th. * Full time in the Spring is 8 credit hours. * Graduate staff must be registered for at least three (3) credits in order to hold their assistantships (if you are being paid, you must be registered).
