Past Events: Conference

The theme of the 14th ICRSS symposium is Remote Sensing applications for addressing emerging research questions and management needs in polar regions. This symposium is unique in that it deals specifically with remote sensing applications in Arctic and Antarctic environments and how the broad suite of remotely sensed information and remote sensing techniques can provide much needed information for rapidly changing polar regions.

Major fisheries and aquatic habitat restoration efforts are stymied in coastal waters, such as the Long Island Sound, the Potomac and the Gulf of Mexico, due to upstream land use impacts causing nutrient amplification, algal blooms and depleted oxygen in both local waters and many miles downstream. Hypoxia can exacerbate stress on commercial species, degrade habitat, shift ecological communities and destroy fisheries-dependent cultures and economies.

Topic: Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge, Mentor, MN - Assessing past reconstructions to improve future efforts (the Retrospective study with Diane Larson, USGS)

RSVP to Ben Walker by August 1 - 218-687-2229 x12, benjamin_walker@fws.gov

NOAA’s Climate Stewards Education Project (CSEP) is collaborating with Federal, State and NGO partners to convene four climate-science workshops for formal and informal educators. Participants will hear from and interact with climate science, education and communication experts, and visit research facilities to explore foundational technologies and innovations in Earth-system research.
