Re: [ECOLOG-L] Buying a new laptop for grad school
Mendeley is great also because you can read the PDFs and make notes on them directly within Mendeley, so everything is together. I find it very helpful. I sync the PDFs in a currently reading folder with my phone and then can read on the subway on the way to school.

[ECOLOG-L] AGU session: B069. Vulnerability of Permafrost Carbon to Climate Change
Dear Colleagues: Please consider submitting your AGU abstract to the following permafrost/carbon Biogeoscience session: B069. Vulnerability of Permafrost Carbon to Climate Change Permafrost zone soils contain 1670 Pg of carbon (C). Permafrost degradation can change ecosystem C storage by enhancing microbial activity and ecosystem respiration, but can also stimulate plant growth and increase C stored in vegetation and surface soil. This session invites papers that examine factors causing losses and gains in ecosystem C storage that relate to the question: What is the magnitude, timing and form of C release from permafrost zone ecosystems to the atmosphere in a changing climate? Papers may address any aspect of this topic from microbial communities to the global scale, using a range of measurements or modeling to detect and forecast permafrost thaw and the influence on the C cycle and future climate.

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Buying a new laptop for grad school
Cat, Congratulations! I am an avid Mac user, having made the move a few years back from the PC world. If you are very mobile, I highly recommend the 13 MacBook Air. With the 3 finger swipe enabled, you have nearly unlimited desktop space, making the relatively smaller screen size meaningless as you can now have multiple full screen applications open at once. Performance is incredible, and the flash hard drive is extremely reliable and fast. Even with moderate simulations running in R, I have had no performance issues. The laptop has 6h battery life and is extremely light at ~4 lbs. Splurge on the bigger hard drive and processor and you will have a machine that should serve your purposes for at least 3y. With a student discount you are looking at around $1500. As for stat software, you will get by fine with R, but always have VirtualBox as an option (free) to run Windows if you need SAS or other Windows-only alternatives. R will become your go to tool for most of your quantitative needs. I also highly recommend Evernote (also free) for cloud storage and syncing of notes - I couldn't live without it. Notebook sharing in the paid version ($45/yr) is extremely useful. I use Papers for references, but many of my students use Mendeley and are very happy. I don't know what the Windows alternatives are. I am sure many of the same features can be found, but this is my two cents. Regards, Chris -- Christopher M.

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Buying a new laptop for grad school
I generally use Mac for pretty much everything, I have been able to find Mac alternatives or open source alternatives to pretty much everything, you just have to be willing to look. I'm biased though, I've had some very unpleasant Windows experience so i run both Linux and OSx. That being said before you decide look at the programs you want to use and see if you can find alternatives for mac, If not then go for what is best for your work. I will say htis, I was recently given a tablet (iPad2) to use and i find that synching with my MacBook and synching my work between the two is not only easy but extremely convenient. There are weatherproof covers for the ipad o i can take it with me out and about and then synchronize my work on my computer and continue working from there. That may be something you want to look into~ AS for Papers, its what i use the most~ Hope that helps a bit Noris~ On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 8:56 AM, Georgina Cullman gc...@columbia.eduwrote: Mendeley is great also because you can read the PDFs and make notes on them directly within Mendeley, so everything is together.

[ECOLOG-L] AGU B054. Remote Characterization of Vegetation Structure, Function, and Condition
For the 5th time we are going to have a session at the AGU fall meeting focusing on “The Remote Characterization of Vegetation Structure, Function, and Condition” (summary below). This year; in addition to the usual topics areas of LiDAR, radar, indices applied to satellite imagery, and process model applications; we also welcome contributions related to and informing the Landsat 8 mission. This year our invited speakers are: Dr Susan Ustin (UC Davis) Dr Ralph Dubayah (U Maryland) Dr Alan Strahler (Boston University) Dr Lee Vierling (University of Idaho) In previous years the contributions to these sessions have resulted in two special issues and we will be pursing an outlet for the presented research again this year. The final journal to be announced. Abstracts can be submitted at: http://agu-fm12.abstractcentral.com/ Deadline is August 8th (AGU never accepts late abstracts for any reason) We hope to see you all again in San Francisco! Alistair Smith (University of Idaho) Mike Falkowski (Michigan Technological University) Wade Tinkham (University of Idaho) Jonathan Greenberg (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) - http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/session-search/single/remote- characterization-of-vegetation-structure-function-and-condition/ Advances in the remote characterization of vegetation structure, function and condition, from individual plants to global scales using aerial and satellite systems. Knowledge of vegetation structure can be used to evaluate biogeochemical cycles, successional dynamics, radiative transfer and water budgets, etc. The widespread application of lidar and SAR, such as in wetland vegetation, has re-emphasized the potential of remote sensing to characterize vegetation attributes over space and time. Specific interest is in studies that present new passive or active remote sensing methods, quantify 2D/3D spatial or temporal patterns and changes, and methods that can use historic, current, and future sensors (e.g., Landsat-8).
[ECOLOG-L] Triumph of Fantasy over Science
I have posted part one of a two-part essay on why neoclassical economics continues to dominate ecological economics on campus, in the boardroom, and in the halls of government (despite the fact that ecological economics has a much stronger foundation of logic and scientific rigor). In part one, I focus on why we find ourselves stuck in an economic framework that undermines ecological systems. In part two, I'll turn to how to get out of this mess. http://steadystate.org/fantasy-over-science-part-1/ Thanks -- see you at the ESA conference in Portland, Rob Editor, Daly News

If you will be attending the AGU Fall meeting, please consider submitting an abstract - deadline August 8. Work on ecohydrological pathways encouraged! http://agu-fm12.abstractcentral.com/ B012. Chemical Indicators of Pathways in the Water Cycle Global change is altering the pathways water follows between and within the atmosphere, shallow lithosphere, and land surface. Understanding the structure of these inherently spatial fluxes is critical to predicting impacts and feedbacks of global change. As new technologies and monitoring networks enhance spatiotemporal hydrochemical data streams (e.g., isotopic and solute measurements) these provide increasingly powerful tools to probe current pathways in the water cycle and to detect change therein. We invite contributions reporting novel applications of natural chemical tracers to detect spatial and temporal structure in the water cycle, including atmospheric, land surface, groundwater, and ecohydrological processes at any scale. _ Jason B.
