[ECOLOG-L] JASM 2104 Integrative Session on Floodplain Ecology
We would like to bring to your attention a Integrative Session we are organizing during the May 2014 Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting (JASM), titled: River-Floodplain Connectivity as a Geomorphic, Biogeochemical, and Organismal Driver of Floodplain Function (#070) Abstract: Floodplain ecosystems are important for biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services. The physical and biogeochemical processes driving these services depend to a great extent upon connectivity between the floodplain and river. The frequency and duration of river- floodplain connectivity varies, from small, infrequently inundated floodplains along low order streams to seasonally inundated floodplains along larger rivers. Material (sediment, water, nutrients) deposited during floods undergoes biogeochemical processing during storage. However, quantifying the roles of connectivity and residence time in floodplain functions remains difficult because of process complexity and poorly constrained conceptual models. We seek a diverse group of interdisciplinary scientists to explore controls on floodplain ecology, including the physical (e.g., hydrology and geomorphology), biogeochemical, and biologic functions. This integrative understanding of floodplain functions is essential for efforts to manage and restore floodplains to improve ecosystem services, from flood amelioration, water quality improvement, to wildlife habitat. You may read the session abstract on-line here: http://www.sgmeet.com/jasm2014/sessionschedule.asp?SessionID=070 There, you may also find our e-mail addresses. Please don't hesitate to contact any one of us with any questions or comments. The abstract deadline is at 23:59 U.S. Central Standard Time on Friday, 7 February 2014. We hope that you'll present your interesting research in our interdisciplinary floodplain session. If you are intending to to submit an abstract to our session, please email us with a confirmation. We hope to see you in Portland! Best regards, Cliff Hupp Richard Keim Greg Noe Durelle Scott

[ECOLOG-L] PhD position at Penn State: Climate and land use drivers of invasive-grass fueled fires across the western U.S.
A PhD graduate research position is available in Dr. Jennifer Balchs Fire Works lab at Penn State University for the fall 2014 semester. This position will be part of a larger collaborative project exploring the climate and land use drivers of invasive-grass fueled fires across the western U.S. Non-native, invasive grasses are increasing fire activity globally, yet the mechanisms driving the initiation and perpetuation of novel fire regimes remain largely unknown. This project will use remote sensing and spatial analysis to investigate the climate and land-use mechanisms that promote fires in invaded and native ecosystemsfor one of the most prominent cases of a potentially irreversible grass-fire cycle. Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), which was introduced to North America in the mid-1800s, now dominates over 40,000 km2 of the intermountain west. This collaborative research project will address the following questions about how climate, land use, and fire interact across invaded and native ecosystems of the intermountain west: i) How do fire regimes and fire probability vary in invaded and native ecosystems? ii) What are the climate and land-use predictors of fire activity in these landscapes? iii) What is the geography of current and future fire risk, under mid-century climate and land-use change scenarios? Research in the lab focuses on the intersection of disturbance dynamics, ecosystem thresholds, and coupled human-natural systems. We examine how global environmental changeincluding shifting fire cyclesalters plant communities and ecosystem function. Our research balances cutting-edge fieldwork with analysis of global ecological data to examine how human changes to fire patterns are encouraging forest-savanna transitions, degrading ecosystems, and increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Together with an international community of collaborators, we work across disciplines and scalesfrom individual organisms to entire ecosystems. Please see my website: http://www.geog.psu.edu/people/balch-jennifer The graduate student for this position will be enrolled through the Intercollege Graduate Degree Program in Ecology at Penn State: http://www.huck.psu.edu/education/ecology/ This position will be supported through Research and Teaching Assistantships, which cover tuition and stipends. Applicants should have a Bachelors or Masters degree in ecology, geography, biology, forestry, or other field related to environmental studies.

[ECOLOG-L] Glacial Balance educational DVD - documentary on human impacts of climate change
Id like to announce the educational DVD release of my film Glacial Balance, which is currently available to the educational market on a sliding fee scale at glacialbalance.com, and will be available for individual retail purchase at the end of the month. The film is a country-by-country journey along the spine of the Andes, providing a narrative of climate change impacts on communities. At the same time we visit with an international array of scientists studying these glaciers while they still exist. Being a filmmaker, and not a scientist, my goal when approaching the subject was to communicate difficult scientific concepts in understandable language. However, I wanted to do this without relying on a narrator, but allow the locals and the scientists to narrate the story through edits of long-form interviews. The asking price of 2-DVD sets for educational institution use is $300, but we are working on a sliding scale. Understandably, this is more feasible for universities than K-12 schools. If there is interest from a school, but budgetary limitations, we will work with any budget - yes, any budget. The film is also available to license for non-profit for-profit screenings, and I am traveling with the film to colleges to present it and talk with students. Please feel free to share the films info with anyone who would be interested.

[ECOLOG-L] Modeling for ecological assessments - special session at 2014 JASM
Individuals planning to attend the 2014 Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting in Portland Oregon are invited to participate in a special session on Modeling for ecological assessments and conservation planning. Substantial progress has been made over the last 15 years in developing predictive models for use in biological assessments and conservation planning. These models are increasingly used across a wide range of aquatic ecosystems (lotic, lentic, wetlands, and marine) and for the prediction of both biotic (algae, invertebrates, fish) and physical properties (hydrology, water chemistry, geomorphology). Much of this work has focused on improving predictions of the reference condition the ecological state that should occur in the absence of human-caused disturbance, but these models have also helped generate and test hypotheses regarding the factors and processes that structure aquatic ecosystems. This session will consist of talks that explore progress made to date, integration of modeling and theory, modeling of stressor-response relationships, uses and abuses of predictive modeling, fundamental constraints that may influence model accuracy and precision, and new modeling approaches that may allow more robust predictions of ecological and environmental structure and dynamics. Please contact Chuck Hawkins (chuck.hawk...@usu.edu) if you are interested in participating in this session. Abstracts must submitted before 23:59 U.S. Central Standard Time on Friday, 7 February 2014. See http://www.sgmeet.com/jasm2014/ for meeting information

Applications are invited for a two-year Postdoctoral Research Associate in Ecoinformatics (ecological analysis and synthesis) as part of the UK NERC-funded Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability project (CBESS: http://synergy.st-andrews.ac.uk/cbess/http://www.findapostdoc.com/common/clickCount.aspx?theid=5282type=54url=http%3a%2f%2fsynergy.st-andrews.ac.uk%2fcbess%2f). The post holder will collate ongoing and historical ecological and environmental survey records (microbiota, plants and invertebrates) from salt marsh and mudflat habitats at a variety of scales around the UK coastline. These records will then be analysed to determine the scale-dependence of relationships between biodiversity stocks and ecosystem service flows in coastal wetlands. Initial work will focus on the salt marsh-mudflat continuums around both Morecambe Bay and the Blackwater Estuary in Essex, with conclusions being tested at other UK sites in the second year of the project. Accordingly, work is likely to involve a number of short site visits to other partners in the CBESS consortium (details at: http://synergy.st-andrews.ac.uk/cbess/managment/partners/http://www.findapostdoc.com/common/clickCount.aspx?theid=5282type=54url=http%3a%2f%2fsynergy.st-andrews.ac.uk%2fcbess%2fmanagment%2fpartners%2f). Because the post holder will be working as part of the CBESS consortium, there will be strong opportunities for networking and mobility, particularly with consortium partners at Queen’s University Belfast (http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofBiologicalSciences/People/DrNEOConnor/http://www.findapostdoc.com/common/clickCount.aspx?theid=5282type=54url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.qub.ac.uk%2fschools%2fSchoolofBiologicalSciences%2fPeople%2fDrNEOConnor%2f). http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofBiologicalSciences/People/ProfessorMCEmmerson/http://www.findapostdoc.com/common/clickCount.aspx?theid=5282type=54url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.qub.ac.uk%2fschools%2fSchoolofBiologicalSciences%2fPeople%2fProfessorMCEmmerson%2f The post is available from early March and candidates should be ready to start no later than Summer 2014. Requirements Prospective candidates will have a good first degree and PhD in a relevant field (e.g. computational ecology). Ideally, candidates will have completed at least one postdoctoral position and will be able to demonstrate expertise in standard mathematical and computational ecology techniques. It is anticipated that the candidate will be in a position to apply for independent funding (Fellowships etc.) by the end of their second year, and full support will be given for such applications.

[ECOLOG-L] Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting 2014 Special Session - Terminal lakes and wetlands
JASM 2014 Special Session - Terminal lakes and wetlands Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce our Special Session on Terminal Lakes and Wetlands at the Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting in Portland, Oregon (May 18-23, 2014) (http://www.sgmeet.com/jasm2014/). We expect our session to provide a forum for all aspects of terminal lakes and wetlands research and management. We would like to invite interested colleagues to submit an abstract to join our session. See the session description below. Abstracts must be submitted by Friday, 7 February 2014 to http://www.sgmeet.com/jasm2014/. Please contact us with any additional questions. Best wishes, Karin Kettenring, Sarah Null, Wayne Wurtsbaugh, Utah State University Sudeep Chandra, University of Nevada - Reno *Integrated analyses of terminal lakes and wetlands: physics to phragmites (Session #118)* Endorheic basins, including saline lakes, wetlands, and the rivers that feed them, comprise nearly 50% of Earth’s inland waters with a diversity of habitats, ranging from freshwater fringing wetlands, to playas, to open-water pelagic and benthic systems. Hydrological transport and organism migrations frequently link these component systems together, forcing scientists to use integrated and interdisciplinary approaches to understand processes crucial for effective management. Because saline lakes and wetlands frequently occur in arid environments, water development, land use change, and climate change threaten many of these important ecosystems. This session brings together researchers interested in all aspects of terminal lakes and wetlands (including rivers feeding saline lakes) with the goal of integrating physical, chemical, and biological processes and ecology, ranging from microbes to vertebrates. It also provides a forum to better understand human-induced changes to saline lakes and wetlands, synthesize existing research, and highlight promising management and restoration opportunities. ooo *Karin M.
