The Lacawac Sanctuary and Biological Field Station is excited to announce the 5th annual Lacawac Ecology Conference (LEC) to be held September 23 - 24, 2016. It will be held at the Lacawac Sanctuary in the Pocono Mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania (Lake Ariel, PA).
Registration is now open! LEC provides: - A great venue for connecting with regional scientists - An opportunity to discuss research ideas in an informal setting (for both faculty and students) - Building new collaborations in the Northeast Region - Lodging in our beautiful and historic Great Camp Lodge, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places This year we have Dr. Kevin Rose of the School of Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as our plenary speaker. Dr. Rose's research spans aquatic ecology and biochemistry to understand how natural and anthropogenic processes affect the structure and function of freshwater ecosystems. A goal of his lab group is to forecast the future state of lake ecosystems in a regional to global context, with an emphasis on understanding how freshwater ecosystems are changing in response to local and global changes in land use and climate. For more details or to register, see our webpage: http://www.lacawac-outreach.org/lacawac-ecology-conference.html Registration should be received by September 13, 2016.
