Ecology in Changing Landscapes
The 2011 Annual Conference of the Ecological Society of Australia will be held in Hobart, Tasmania for the first time in 15 years, from 21 – 25 November 2011.
Tasmania, with its extensive alpine landscapes, grasslands, forests, peatlands and marine ecosystems and its vibrant community of researchers focussing on Antarctic/sub-Antarctic marine, freshwater, forest, alpine and island ecology, is the perfect background to the conference.
The theme of the conference, “Ecology in changing landscapes”, encompasses all natural systems, from terrestrial, freshwater and marine, from the molecular to the ecosystem level. With this theme, we aim to encourage greater integration of knowledge across these fields, to improve the application of ecological perspectives and knowledge to global concerns and to rally our community to urgent action in these times of increasingly rapid change.
The Annual Conference of the Ecological Society of Australia is the pre-eminent conference event in ecology in the southern hemisphere, bringing together the best and brightest ecologists from academic, government and non-government backgrounds in Australia, New Zealand and internationally. We welcome practitioners and students from a range of disciplines to facilitate broad conversation within the areas of natural resource management, conservation biology and ecological science.
The aim of this conference is to inspire challenging dialogue across all fields of ecology and to link ecological research with practical conservation biology. We will emphasise the challenges facing ecologists at all levels from the local to the international. We hope to stimulate debate and challenge current thinking, particularly with reference to the need to mainstream climate change ecology. While many of the problems facing natural systems have not changed, ecologists today are increasingly called upon to consider multiple issues. Are the ecological questions and methods of the past still relevant and are they up to the questions of the future?
We look forward to welcoming you to Hobart in 2011!
