We would like to conduct 2 sessions for this proposed working group - one on Monday and a second on Wednesday 9/12. We are inviting several science journalists to participate in this workshop that will work with us for activities on both of these days. The first proposed workgroup session will be oriented toward brainstorming and information sharing and the second workgroup session will be product oriented. </div> </div> </div> <fieldset class="fieldgroup group-wg-materials"><legend>Working Group Materials</legend><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-wg-materials"> <div class="field-label">Related materials:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="filefield-file"><img class="filefield-icon field-icon-application-pdf" alt="application/pdf icon" src="http://asm2012.lternet.edu/sites/all/modules/filefield/icons/application-pdf.png" /><a href="http://asm2012.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/working-groups/wg-30/ASM 2012 Com LTER Sci WG Agenda.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=48943">ASM 2012 Com LTER Sci WG Agenda.pdf</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </fieldset> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-wg-terms"> <div class="field-label">Terms of submission:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> I agree </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-wg-session"> <div class="field-label">Session:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/sessions/working-group-session-1-monday">Working Group Session 1 - Monday</a> </div> <div class="field-item even"> <a href="/sessions/working-group-session-5-wednesday">Working Group Session 5 - Wednesday</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-session-room"> <div class="field-label">Room Assignment:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Ruesch Auditorium - Sweet (50) </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://asm2012.lternet.edu/working-groups/communicating-lter-science-part-i-and-ii" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Agronomy Animal Behavior Animal Ecology Animal Physiological Ecology Animal Population Biology Animal Systematics Anthropology Aquatic Ecology Atmospheric Science Behavioral Ecology Biogeochemistry Biogeography Biological Diversity Biology Botany Chemical Ecology Climatology Community Ecology Computer Science Conservation Biology Disturbance Ecology Ecological Complexity Ecological Modeling Ecosystem Ecology Education Entomology Environmental Economics Environmental Education Environmental Law Environmental Policy Environmental/Resource Management Epidemiology Estuarine Ecology Forest Ecology Forestry Geography Geology GIS/Remote Sensing Habitat Preservation/Restoration Human Ecology Hydrology Informatics Information Technology Invertebrate Biology Landscape Ecology Limnology Marine Ecology Microbial Ecology Microbiology Nutrient Fluxes Oceanography OTHER Paleoclimatology Paleoecology Plant Ecology Plant Physiological Ecology Plant Population Biology Plant Systematics Plant-Animal Interactions Population Biology Population Genetics Range/Grazing Ecology Social Science Sociology Soil Science Statistical Ecology Statistics Theoretical Population Biology Trace Gas Fluxes Vegetation Ecology Wetlands Ecology Wildlife Biology Zoology Product oriented Thu, 24 May 2012 20:10:38 +0000 sdailey1 30 at http://asm2012.lternet.edu
