Athens, Ga. --- The University of Georgia Institute of Ecology will host a
two-day symposium focusing on graduate student research Sept. 30 and Oct. 1.
A plenary address will be given by Dr. Judy Meyer, a professor of ecology in
the institute and president of the Ecological Society of America.
All events are open and free to the public.
More than 40 doctoral and master's degree students will present their research
in the symposium, which will be held at the Institute of Ecology auditorium
beginning at 8:30 a.m. each day.
Meyer will speak on "Opportunities and Obligations for Ecologists in the '90s"
at 4 p.m. Sept. 30 in the Ecology auditorium, followed by a reception and
student poster session at 5 p.m. Meyer, an authority on stream ecology, is the
principal investigator for ecological research at Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory,
a U.S. Forest Service facility near Franklin, N.C.
Students will speak on a number of topics, including community ecology, global
change, sustainable agriculture and aquatic systems. The doctoral program at the
institute was organized in 1972 and is a broad interdisciplinary program. In the
fall of 1992, a master's degree and certificate program in conservation ecology
and sustainable development was established.
