Dear Friend, Two upcoming events hosted by NCSE partners may be of interest to you or your colleagues:
The Second Environmental Studies Summit (ESS) will be held June 7-10, 2007 in Syracuse, New York, and will bring together directors, faculty, and graduate students in environmental studies and related fields to discuss the direction of our field -- and to advance it. The gathering will be hosted by Syracuse University and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. This is a follow-up to last year's highly-successful Santa Barbara Summit on Environmental Studies. The summit features exceptional keynote speakers, a workshop on integrating sustainability into cirriculum, and a wine-tasting reception. These summits are cosponsored by the Council of Environmental Deans and Directors. Please see full press release and ESS program, attached. The Fifth International Symposium on Digital Earth (ISDE5) will be held June 5-9, 2007 at the University of California-Berkeley. The five days of ISDE5 represent a rich convergence of technological advance, active visionaries and recognition of the paramount need for humans to better understand the Earth. This is the first time the bi-annual symposium will be held on U.S. soil - previous gatherings have been held in China, Canada, Czech Rebuplic and Japan. The symposium will feature world-class representatives from industry, academia, government, NGOs and the private sector who have come from around the globe to highlight a central theme regarding shared interest in the concept of a digital Earth. The National Council for Science and the Environment is pleased to be among the sponsors of ISDE5.
