Bob: I probably can give a presentation at this meeting, but would need to know the exact date (at this point I only have 4 other invitations to speak during summer 2010, so conflicts are not too likely). This year I am on advisory committees for three graduate students working on high elevation forest/treeline issues in the Rocky Mountains, including one student who is studying the Sangre deCristos, so I will have some familiarity with the forests, but not as much as others.
