The call for presentations for the 2018 Landscape Ecology (US-IALE) conference is now open: http://www.usiale.org/call-for-presentations.html
The 2018 US-IALE Annual Meeting will take place in Chicago Illinois on April 8-12. We now welcome abstract submissions for contributed oral presentations and poster presentations. The deadline to submit an abstract is Friday, December 15, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. EST. The scientific program will consist of three types of sessions: Organized Symposia (a series of integrated presentations that address aspects of a single topic or theme, submitted as an organized group of speakers); Contributed Oral Presentations (individual oral presentations that are grouped into sessions by conference organizers); and Poster Presentations. Contributed Oral and Poster presentations will be grouped with similar presentations to form thematic sessions. The topics you select are used to create these groupings. Oral presentation authors also have the option of indicating interest in an Organized Symposium, either as an invited speaker, or if you want your talk to be considered for a particular symposium. Visit the "Symposia Overview" page for details and options (http://www.usiale.org/symposia.html). NOTE: Invited speakers of an Organized Symposium must submit their individual presentation abstract using this online form. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by the end of December and the schedule will be posted in January 2018. All presenters will need to register and pay for the conference shortly thereafter. If you have questions, or need assistance filling out the online submission form or withdrawing a proposal, please contact Meg Boera at m...@delaneymeetingevent.com.
