Dear colleagues, The 38th Biological Systems Simulation Group Conference will be held at the Blackland Research and Extension Center, Temple, TX on 8-10 April 2008. The theme of this conference is:
Applying Basic Science to Challenges in Energy Supply and Natural Resources Conservation=20 The link to the conference web site is: http://tti.tamu.edu/conferences/bssg08/ <http://tti.tamu.edu/conferences/bssg08/>=20 The main topics of the conference/workshop are the simulation of:=20 - biomass production and composition in bioenergy crops - spatially variable plant and hydrological processes in rangelands=20 - the interactive effects of climate change: from field to watershed levels. The role of simulation modeling in addressing issues regarding energy supply and natural resources conservation is difficult to overstate. We expect that this meeting will catalyze productive discussions on modeling biomass composition, complex spatially and temporally distributed processes in rangelands, and the effects of climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration on hydrological processes in fields and watersheds. Invited speakers on the program will include Bruce Kimball, Cesar Izaurralde, and Mark Weltz.=20 More information is available on the conference website, and by emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] We hope to see you in Temple, TX in April, 2008; we will do everything to make your stay a success.=20 BSSG Conference Organizing Committee Members: Armen R. Kemanian / Philip Fay / Jim Kiniry =20
