Just a quick reminder that the deadline for submitting abstracts to this year's AGU fall meeting is Wednesday, August 8th.
Please see the invitation below: Dear colleagues, We would like to bring your attention to and encourage you to submit an abstract to the following session at the upcoming fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), to be held between December 3rd – 7th in San Francisco, CA: PA004: Connectivity Across Watersheds and Effects on Downstream Waters http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/session-search/single/connectivity-across-watersheds-and-effects-on-downstream-waters/ Description Recent Supreme Court decisions brought into question the regulator's ability to protect various types of aquatic resources. This has brought a sense of urgency to the need to advance science on a number of topics, including the connectivity of small, transiently connected aquatic resources within a watershed, the temporal and spatial scales of connectivity, and the role of biota in establishing connectivity within a watershed. This session will address the hydrology, biogeochemistry, limnology, and policy aspects of connectivity within watersheds. We welcome submissions integrating the role of wetlands without a continuous surface waters connection, headwaters, and ephemeral streams with their effects on downstream waters. Invited speakers Donna Downing – US Environmental Protection Agency - Connectivity as it relates to the Clean Water Act Michael Gooseff – Pennsylvania State University - Surface-subsurface connectivity across watersheds Brian McGlynn – Duke University - Temporal and spatial distribution of connectivity Jason Dunham – US Geological Survey - Fish movement in stream networks The deadline for abstract submissions is 8 August 2012. Go to http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/scientific-program/abstract-submission-policies/ for abstract submitting instructions. Please consider submitting an abstract to our session. See you in San Francisco, Hadas Raanan Kiperwas, Scott Leibowitz, and Jim Wigington Hadas Raanan Kiperwas, Ph.D. ORISE Fellow U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Wetland Division 202-566-2101 [email protected]
