Call for abstracts (due April 15):
There are three possible presentation/participation options for the conference.
1) Parallel session presentations. These presentations will be held on the
first two days of the conference. We are planning on having only a few parallel
sessions, but with shorter presentations. This will allow you to have a larger
audience for your presentation.
2) Poster Presentations. Posters will be displayed throughout the
conference, with specific times for being at your poster for discussion.
3) Working Groups/Sessions. Small, transdisciplinary groups will work
together to solve problems over the course of two days (August 1-2) and then
report their results in plenary on August 3rd. To submit your abstract go to:
