Call for Teaching Materials: Developing Ecologically-Based Conservation Targets under Global Change
In conjunction with the 2012 Emerging Issues Conference, "Developing Ecologically-Based Conservation Targets Under Global Change," ESA's EcoEd Digital Library (EcoEdDL) is seeking related teaching materials that faculty can use in undergraduate courses. Conference site: http://www.esa.org/emergingissues/conference.php EcoEdDL: http://ecoed.esa.org/index.php?P=Home If you have images, datasets, figure sets or classroom activities that can be used to teach students about topics related to conservation and global change, we encourage you to submit them for digital publication in EcoEdDL! We will feature a special collection to promote the Conference within the ecological community; a similar collection was created for the 2009 Millennium Conference on "Water-Ecosystem Services, Drought and Environmental Justice." Millennium collection: http://www.esa.org/ecoed/index.php?P=AdvancedSearch&Q=Y&G92=1&RP=5&SR=0&ST=Advanced By submitting to EcoEdDL, you will: * Locate and share cutting edge, peer-reviewed ecology education resources * Gain access to a community of scientists and educators * Advance ecology education and potentially fulfill NSF's broader impacts requirements. Activity submissions are peer reviewed for scientific accuracy and pedagogical use, and images are reviewed by EcoEdDL editors. To be reviewed and published in time for the March conference, we must receive your submission by December 20, 2011. We welcome additional contributions after the deadline for inclusion in the general collection. Resources could address one or more topics related to the conference theme, such as: * Trade-off analyses of conservation decisions using both current and forecast parameters * Impacts of global change on policy decisions concerning management of non-native, threatened, and endangered species * Impacts of climate change on both cultural and ecological diversity * Measures and definitions of biodiversity and ecosystem function within dynamic environmental contexts.
