The Policy Committee of the US Chapter of the International Association of Landscape Ecologists is organizing a special symposium focused on policy- relevant research and issues at the landscape scale, to take place during the 2017 US-IALE conference in Baltimore, MD from April 9-14 (2017).
We invite ecologists working at the landscape scale to present their policy- relevant work at the symposium. We also invite policy makers and program managers with key information needs to present these needs at the symposium as well. What unknowns prevent the successful implementation of land management policies? We hope for a lively and informative discussion among researchers and policy makers that will promote closer collaboration and dialogue. The deadline for authors and tentative titles of presentations is due to Audrey Mayer ([email protected]) by October 10th.
