Dear Colleagues,
This fall, the2018*_Three Rivers Urban Soil Symposium
<https://www.phipps.conservatory.org/calendar/detail/three-rivers-urban-soil-symposium>_*
– *TRUSS*(October 4^– 5, Phipps Conservatory, Pittsburgh, PA) will be an
exciting gathering of soil-minded professionals from across the
_mapping, remediation, green stormwater infrastructure, urban __ag, and
climate sectors_. With presentations, panels, and a full day
of workshops on soil health, TRUSS promises to be a place to talk, share
and learn. We would invite you all to attend.
On day one of the symposium (October 4), the program will conclude with
a two-hour reception for attendees combined with a _Poster Session_ for
students, researchers and professionals. This will be a chance to share
work and insights with both experts and engaged lay people, and learn
your colleagues.
If you have research, a project, or ongoing analysis that you wish to
present at this poster session, please submit your personal information,
title,and short abstract (max. 250 words) on the submission page *HERE*

Abstracts should be in by September 14, and decisions will be made by
the September 17th. There is also the potential for some travel
assistance forpresenters, though we are finalizing available funds. All
poster attendees will also receive free admission to day one of the
symposium. We know abstracts are short turn around, so please do
contact us if presenters need a couple extra days.
