NSF sponsored Global Long Term Human Ecodynamics Conference
Eagle Hill, Maine.
October 15th-18th 2009
New Methods, Data, Tools
The past few years have seen some impressive advances in both field techniques and laboratory results, and several innovative approaches have clearly achieved "critical mass" and are now transforming our disciplines. We are fortunate to have some participants with wide and deep experience in getting the most out of such new approaches.
Chairs: Tina Thurston, Doug Price, and Tom McGovern
