Please share the following notice with students and colleagues:
The Environmental Science and Policy Program of Michigan State University is
seeking posters for its international symposium, Climate Change in the Great
Lakes Region: Decision Making Under Uncertainty. The 2006 Summit will be
held on March 15 & 16, 2007 at the Kellogg Conference Center on the MSU
campus. The poster session will be during the Symposium reception on the
evening of March 15.
Faculty, students, government agencies and community organizations are
invited to submit an abstract for this competitive poster session. Abstracts
are to be no more than 300 words in length. Posters will be selected
according to their overall quality and relevance to the symposium topics:
* Potential impacts of climate change, particularly in the Great Lakes
Region
* Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies
* Decision making under uncertainty
Abstracts are due by Friday, December 29. Not all abstracts submitted will
be accepted for poster presentations at the Symposium. Posters will be
selected for display at the symposium based on the scores submitted by an
abstract review team. Authors will be notified of the team's decisions by
Friday, January 19. Electronic versions of selected posters are due by March
2, to be eligible for the poster awards. The top two posters in each of four
categories-faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students, and community
(nonprofit, government, and other nonacademic organizations)-will receive a
cash award of US $250. The most highly rated poster overall will be awarded
a Best Poster prize of US $500.
