ABSTRACT DEADLINE - MAY 6 for Water and Land Use in the Pacific Northwest: Integrating Communities and Watersheds (November 4 -6, Stevenson, WA)
www.swwrc.wsu.edu
This regional conference merges the best available water science and land-use knowledge to promote collaboration between scientists, planners, and decision-makers on sustainable land-use methodologies. The agenda was developed in response to comments from previous water quality-based conference participants who stressed the need to plan future development in ways that would protect and improve water resources. The conference will include presentations, featured speakers, panel discussions, and a poster session.
THEMES:
· Carrying Capacity: The Science of Planning
· Co-management: Surface/Groundwater, Science and Policy
· Intersection of Economics, Land Use, and Water Resources
· Planning for Climate Change: Adaptation and/or Mitigation
· Assessing Effectiveness of Stormwater Mitigation
· Assessing Effectiveness of TMDL Implementation
· Enabling Local Leadership and Action: Optimizing Extension and University Resources
· Transboundaries: Watersheds and Jurisdictions
· Integrating the Built Environment and Watersheds
· Outreach and Education Strategies
· Using Modeling as a Predictor for Future Needs
ABSTRACT DEADLINE - MAY 15 for Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, 20th Biennial Conference (November1-5, Oregon Convention Center, Portland)
https://www.sgmeet.com/cerf2009/
The CERF 2009 Program Committee invites you to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation for CERF 2009. The Federation is committed to bringing scientists and students from around the world together to exchange information and ideas about the science and management of coastal ecosystems. We view our Federation conferences as providing outstanding opportunities for professionals at all stages in their career for continuing education and development. Please see the conference website for more information.
May 19 - Puget Sound Stormwater Monitoring Workshop: Designing a Monitoring Program for the Future (Renton Community Center, Renton, WA)
The Stormwater Work Group has been meeting since October 2008 to prioritize objectives for monitoring stormwater and develop recommendations for implementing a regional stormwater monitoring strategy that addresses stormwater impacts to beneficial uses, pollutant loadings, and efficacy of management actions in Puget Sound. The workshop will provide background information to interested parties about our efforts to develop the strategy and to hear about some recent monitoring/research efforts. Of primary importance however, is receiving your early input for developing the strategy and identifying opportunities to link the stormwater monitoring strategy to other efforts.
The intended audience for the workshop is: stormwater managers, engineers, and scientists, planners, natural resource managers, industry professionals, non-profit environmental advocates, decision makers, and technical folks engaged in ecosystem and environmental monitoring.
Please plan to come give your feedback and hear about:
· New ideas for approaching stormwater monitoring in Puget Sound
· Findings and lessons learned by local monitoring programs
· Findings of the National Research Council on stormwater monitoring efforts nation-wide
· And more
Space is limited. If you would like to register or if you have other questions, please contact Project Manager Karen Dinicola at 360.407.6550.
May 19 - 22 - 2009 Society for Ecological Restoration NW Chapter Regional Conference (Lynwood Convention Center, Lynwood, WA)

"Creating Thriving Rural and Urban Communities through Ecological Restoration" SERNW is pleased to announce the 2009 SERNW Regional Conference. Conference tracks will include technical sessions, workshops, field trips, and special presentations focused on promoting the preservation, conservation, enhancement, and restoration of urban and rural ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest.
http://www.science.oregonstate.edu/~madsenl/TIESNA2009/index.html
Tracking the quality and quantity of environmental resources is an important issue that involves the gamut of environmental sciences, as well as statisticians, mathematicians, and environmental managers. The focus of the conference will be on forests and fisheries, but talks dealing with other resources are welcome.We encourage submissions covering any aspect of measuring, monitoring, or modeling an environmental resource. Abstracts are due no later than May 1, 2009. For further information, contact Don Stevens at 541-737-3587, stevens@stat.oregonstate.edu, or go to the conference website. Abstracts may be sent by email to stevens@stat.oregonstate.edu or mailed to Don Stevens, Statistics Department, 44 Kidder Hall, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331.
