Friends and colleagues:
Please route this message to your friends, colleagues, and others you feel
may be interested in participating in an important upcoming meeting. While
it is appropriate to send this to ecology, natural resources conservation,
earth/geoscience, and environmental persons, institutions, and agencies;
it is also very important that representation from fields of environmental
education and environmental information are informed and encouraged to
attend.
The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) is bringing
together individuals from key communities to identify new and existing
approaches worthy of support. Conference highlights include a keynote
lecture by Dr. Sylvia Earle of Deep Ocean Exploration and Research, and a
special Friday afternoon address by Dr. Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain
Institute.
In four weeks I will be participating in the first National Conference on
Science Policy and the Environment, which will be held December 7- 8, 2000
at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC. Join us in Washington
to help shape the "science for the environment" agenda of the next
Administration and Congress.
I will be moderating, "Information Systems," one of the concurrent
breakout sessions taking place on Friday morning (December 8). Other
Breakout Sessions include:
- Biodiversity & Ecosystem Health
- Environmental Implications of Biotechnology
- Environmental Indicators
- Federal Government Structure
- Global Environmental Change
- Higher Education
- Human Health & Environment
- Information Systems
- Invasive Species
- Pollution Prevention/Waste Management
- Population/Demographics
- Public Education
- Sustainable Communities
- Sustainable Resource Management
There is a lot that all of us can do: come to the conference, tell others
about the conference, follow subsequent events and activities at
